kneel in wonder at heaven touching earth
A husband, father, and Licensed Lay Minister (Reader) reflecting on life, faith, and the prayers we pray in the Church of England
I came across this little chap while exploring in the garden this week. Ever since I was a kid I’ve always liked to see Ladybirds — except when they suddenly arrive in huge numbers and blanket everything. I always count the spots when I see one on its own like this. They fascinate me. There’s a great article on Wikipedia about Ladybirds.

What a nice nickname – ‘ladybirds.’ We yanks call ‘em ladybugs. I imagine they like ladybirds better.
Years ago when I lived in Michigan I encountered my first and only ladybug swarm. They covered everything. I felt guilty walking anywhere – crunch crunch crunch.
We have never had such a swarm here in Utah (to my knowledge).
Hope things went (or are going) well at the doctors.
Thanks Kay. It seemed to go okay. I’m tired, but hopeful. So we just have to wait and see now.
I like the name ‘ladybird’ better; ‘ladybug’ implies something distasteful, which they aren’t normally — only when they swarm.
