After a crazy end to the week, I needed to come home for a little get-away. My aunt and uncle from PA happened to be visiting my parents and so I spent much of the weekend with them. I was a bit sad to miss my last home game as an undergraduate and a thanksgiving dinner with friends, but sometimes you've just got to get away.

I find myself, still at home, sitting on our porch soaking up the sun as it sets on the water and watching about 20 ladybugs crawl around and flutter through the air in front of me. Ladybugs are one of those bugs that really doesn't create too much of a disturbance but they still are a crawly/flying bug. I thought ladybugs wouldn't be around during this time of year, but considering how far south I currently sit, this 73 degree weather is actually quite appropriate for these little red and black buggies to be out and about.
