Thursday, I was out and about looking for things of wonder
Watching the insects and bees, enjoying the beauty of the last flowers of the season—
Thinking to myself that Autumn/Fall is earth’s answer to the sky’s gift of rainbows
Checking the bee house (it’s filling up)
And the ladybug house—-nothing there. I don’t really know how a LadyBug house works.
When I looked up into the sky and saw a Sun Dog!
A simple, but very {always} correct announcement, of colder weather coming in three days’ time.
From my world to your heart,

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lady bug house before, but your bee house is filling up nicely. I hope Old Man Winter doesn’t get there too soon.

Me too—but the complete weather change usually occurs on Halloween so it’s getting close. 😦

Oh, you have Mason bees…how cool is that! We used to call them alfalfa bees. Beautiful sun dog! The cold weather has already arrived here, along with the rain.

Cool that your bee house is filling up. We had one and none came, but that is best because the wind tore it up

Put them in a southern and protected place in your yard, where they can get sun in the winter.

Bee house and ladybug house! I never knew there were such things. I have learned so much from you.

I really don’t know how the ladybug house works, but I thought it was cute and would keep the bee house company. 🙂

We’ve been taking in the rain from Hurricane Delta for the last three days. Temps are dropping.
Maybe the Lady Bug house is for them in the Spring? Love the bee house.

I am going to leave it up and see what happens come Spring. It might be full of nasty spiders by then, who knows.

I built one last year, but they didn’t like it so this year I bought one. I’m glad I did. 🙂
