Last year, in the weeks leading up to the birth of our daughter, we had the most random thing happen...literally HUNDREDS of ladybugs found their way into our bedroom. This is especially odd because of the fact that it was December, and also because they managed to get in past the window screens. It's almost like they were making a statement of some kind. I took it as a good omen, as in German lore ladybugs are considered a sign of good luck and good fortune. Being the kind hearted people that we are, my husband would use our bug vaccuum to suck them up and release them out into the wild. Those tenacious little critters were undaunted, though, and kept coming right back in! Finally, we just learned to live with it and smile, and lo and behold- our daughter was born on Lady Bird Johnson's birthday!
Right around the 1st of December I noticed that they've started coming in again. I wonder what auspicious things are coming our way?? Meanwhile, I will just enjoy them and smile at the jolie coccinelles.
