I have been invaded by lady bugs. I guess if you're going to be infested by insects, lady bugs are a good one to have. I think they came in with the lemon tree, and have hatched. They are all over the sliding glass doors. I tried to get some of them outside, but they keep flying away from me.

Jon won 3rd place in the medium-spicy chili category! Hooray! Comments were that his chili had a nice flavor, that he did a good job with the blend of chili powder and cumin.
