There are ladybugs everywhere, absolutely everywhere…

Like on my hat when I went in the house! I kinda flipped out though, because I had *just* squashed a dozy wasp that I disturbed among my irises. I screamed and smooshed.

Lucky for the ladybug there was only a scream.

My raspberries starting to grow.
