🐞Ladybugs & Gelato…..
My next door neighbor wowed me twice this afternoon. I went out to talk with her and when I offered her the pint of gelato that we couldn’t open, she told me to wait a minute…..she went in her house & came out with a rubber band…said she could get it to open right away by putting the rubber band around the lid! And she did…1, 2, 3!,
I couldn’t believe it. Never knew :))
When I told her I wanted to give it to her she said, “no, you enjoy it…you earned it!”
(Trying to open it a few days ago is what caused my needing stitches in my thumb, would you believe! 🤪
🧤 I noticed her garden gloves were very worn as we spoke. I have a few new pair that a charity had sent me, so I went in to get a pair & gave them to her. The gloves were decorated with ladybugs 🐞 …she loved them & I was fascinated by the Legend of the Ladybug (shown below) she shared with me!
I told her she’s a font of knowledge & an amazing woman 🥰.
❤️(We’ve been side by side neighbors for about 30 years & we share so much love & laughter. A true blessing 🙏)

I'll have to give it a try! daughter and i were at the beach on Wednesday and she had a ladybug land on her arm. i carefully removed the beautiful creature and admired the geometry of the black disks on its wings. nature has done such an incredible job of creating beauty in this world<3.
