Making chicken and dumplings for dinner tonight.

What time should we be over?

 

[tnspursfan09]

Whenever you want. We make this at least once a week. This is the first time we have ever done it with one of our own chickens, though. First time processing and DH did it like a pro. Thought Maddy would be upset and not want to eat the dumplings, which are her faves, but she was totally fine with it. That's my girl!

http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/iiin/ladybeetles.html Arielle here is a little on the orange lady bugs. I guess they are a sort of lady bug.

Yup, that is the the little pest!! NOw that I know they are beneficials even if a transplant, I will just lock them out of the house and not kill them.

When they get in the stain is permanent where they crowd into the corners, otherwise theyvly around the ceiling light fixture until lights out. Bump, ting, bump, ting. Annnnnnnnnooooooying. THey did move up a notch because they are true lady bugs and we need beneficials. Just NOT in my house!
