OK...we are trying to be a little more "green" around our house. We have changed out our lightbulbs. My dad doesn't like those swirly ones but we use them anyway. We recycle more and are careful about the amount of trash we create. We are trying to use less chemicals. My roses had aphids and we had many spiders. I had read or seen somewhere that live ladybugs take care of this problem for you. So one day last week, Connor, Owen, and I went to the Spokane Lawn and Feed Store and bought live ladybugs to release in our yard. It was amazing. The boys loved it! We released one bag (approximately 1500 ladybugs) around our yard in areas where there were aphids and spider mites. The boys helped and carried ladybugs around with them. They were in awe. The good news is I don't have any more aphids. I don't, however, see many ladybugs either. I'm hoping they are still working!
