Ladybug, Ladybug fly away home

This was always one of my favorites as a kid:

So it was pretty neat yesterday, when the sun came out, ladybugs started swarming all over my house.  Not just 2 or 3, like 20 or 30 or 50.  They were everywhere.  All different types — bright red, pumpkin orange, lots of dots, or just a few.

Doesn’t legend say that it is good luck when a ladybug lands on you?  So why are both twins sick (or still sick) again?  Why was I up with one or the other all night long?  Why couldn’t I fall asleep during the one hour that they slept this morning?  What’s up with that?  Maybe you ladybugs better fly away home.

The sun’ll come out …

For a few days we had this:

But yesterday we were back to this:

Greener Pastures

Change is never easy or simple.  Our transition here is still ongoing.  We are all learning how to stretch our legs in this new place.  But each time we have just a moment to look around and really see what we have found, we are grateful.

My honey gave me his blessing to run off this afternoon … to take pictures.  I went for a little drive and got to do some exploring (and I didn’t even use the GPS!).  I was amazed to find a lovely country road.  I was so excited to tromp off and explore and try new things with my camera.  The air was crisp, the sun bright and beginning to set.  Aside from risking my life walking down a twisty little country road — it was perfect.  To top things off, I found even more places to visit on my ride home, all only a few minutes drive from our new house.

So, here is my Best Shot Monday:

My View

This is one of the views from my new neighborhood.  The moonrise, not bad, huh?
