Lady beetles, die

For anyone who cares, I sprayed the front of my house last week, and now dozens of lady beetle carcasses grace my front door step. I probably should sweep them away, but I love to see them accummulate. The alternative is to see them all gather in my house this winter.

Also pertaining to an earlier post, I think I was wrong about kudzu. A field on my road about a quarter of a mile from my house is covered in something that looks like kudzu -- ground, fence, trees, everything.

When it gets down my way, we'll have a celebrity grudge death match: kudzu vs. multiflora rose.
