Good morning! It is the time of pumpkins, kale and mums and this is the one column I always find difficult to write. It is bittersweet because when I say goodbye to all of you, I am also saying farewell to flowers, hummers, bumbles and songbirds.
The outdoor scenery, temperatures and our daily activities change so thoroughly each fall. Things slow down. Weekly concerts stop on the green, loons fly away to the sea, songbirds seek warmer climes, children disappear into school buildings (taking their uninhibited laughter with them) and we are left to other pursuits.
So green doesn’t totally disappear, I fill my house with plants and flowers.
And with those plants in my house comes a large population of ladybugs.
They will be invading soon. For those of you who do not welcome them, please be patient. They gather around windows and come through open doors, usually in numbers. They are seeking a place to sleep for the winter. If you want them gone, simply take a paper bag, brush them into it and put them back outdoors. Please don’t spray them or kill them. They are good for your garden and represent a healthy environment. Please be kind.
