temple and ladybugs

We live three doors down from a beautiful old Masonic temple. It takes up an entire block, and we've been walking over there lately to kick soccer balls, watch cars go by, and ride bikes in the parking lot when it's empty. Last weekend, Lea and I walked over and spent a while listening to birds singing and looking for ladybugs.

 We found three ladybugs on the steps of the temple: two dead, one almost dead. We talked about how a ladybug crawls (like a bear, according to Lea), and then moved the still-living one to the grass. A highly productive afternoon, I think.
