Miss Ladybug

One day last month while playing outside, we stumbled upon a ladybug. 

It had a wing that would not go back in. 

Lily and the ladybug became fast friends.  For almost an hour Lily giggled watching her new friend crawl around her hands.

It was fun to watch Lily's amazement while the ladybug traveled over her hands.

She kept walking around the yard talking to her new friend.

It was sad when we had to say good bye.  We put our new friend in our zinnias and went in to have dinner.

Right after dinner Lily ran outside to see if her friend was still there.  Sadly she wasn't.  I had to tell Lils that her friend had to go home to visit her family.
