    Love bugs

    I have been wondering what good are the pests other than kamikaze attacks on my trucks windshield. I hear they will eat aphids. Well I didn't believe it. Lol. I went to check pepper plants and was surprised. Plants were covered in love bugs and looks like they were ridding my plants of an aphid attack. Not sure if that's what they are doing. I have read they (adult) lovebugs feed on nectar and help pollination of plants.

    Remember, always help who you can, whether you know them or not, blessings come when you least expect it.

    Hummingbirds are going nuts here too Ben. We have a feeder in the window directly in front of my recliner. It's like watching an air show from my living room. Amazing little birds.
    It's knowin' that your door is always open sideways and your path is free to walk......
