Gotcha!

Nothing says Happy 6th Anniversary like an Asian Ladybeetle Trap. In fact, we love each other so much we got "His and Hers" Ladybug Traps. They don't come that way but a Sharpie will make just about anything His and Hers. Much more practical than the iron sculpture the internets suggested. And hopefully will prevent us from wanting to burn the house down to get rid of those beetles.

While we're at it... we have His and Her alarm clocks. A necessity when he gets up 2 hours earlier than I do.

What we don't have are His and Her refrigerators. Not that it hasn't been suggested. He's such a bed-time snack-eater. I never was a treat buyer therefore didn't have to deal with the treats in the refrigerator. Now there is a constant supply of yummy fatty goodness which he eats only at bedtime and which I eat every time I'm a little "noshy." He was opposed to the separate refrigerators- anticipating, I suppose, the begging and whining for the combination and/or key to the treat fridge.

Happy 6th to us and if those Ladybeetle Traps catch the bugs the way Mr. Sophanne "caught" me, we're good to go. (holy crap was that corny-and he doesn't even read the blog to appreciate it.)

ETA- for clarification- these aren't your regular red and black ladybugs. These are swarming Japanese beetles that disguise themselves as ladybugs. You can still love ladybugs.

Happy Anniversary!

I never realized Lady Bugs were pests. Here, people buy them in containers and release them in the garden to eat aphids. Who'd have thunk.

I had always heard that ladybugs were supposed to be lucky...... well, whether they work or not, you two are a great couple. Happy, happy anniversary.
