Hiding from Lady Bugs at Hazel Run
The Hazel Run Mama finished up the daily vacuuming, grabbed the story book and went to find the Hazel Run Pack.
Everyone except Princess Lil Belle was already outside. "Hey, Lil Belle, you wanna come listen to the story, too? Let's go out to Swing." Swing is the traditional story-telling place at Hazel Run. The Hazel Run Mama sat down in Swing and called the Pack. "It's story time! It's story time!" they barked as they rushed over.

But the Pack had barely settled before the first orange beetle had alit on the HRM's book.
"What's this?" she just had time to ask before a swarm of Lady Bugs came to roost in the Side Yard!  Soon the whole Pack was busy snapping at Lady Bugs, trying to pull Lady Bugs out of their fur, and scratching away the tickles from Lady Bugs crawling on their backs."Yuck," whined Grace. "Lady Bugs taste amazingly icky! Can we go inside, please?" The HRM looked around. There were lady bugs everywhere. There were some on the siding... ...some on the screens... ...and way too many were buzzing through the air. "Okay, kids, let's go inside!"

The lady bugs were so bad that even the Hazel Run Daddy had to come inside.
"Glad you're safe! Glad you're safe!" barked the Pack as they greeted him at the door.

"Well, if you want me to read, you've got to settle down," said the HRM.
Esquire Brier settled on his favorite setter rug. "Hey, Brier, let me lick that Lady Bug off your face," yapped Grace. When it was gone, Grace lay down, too, and waited for the story to start.

Sheriff Cole, King Ember, Ms Muddy Mossy Messy Macie, and Lady (in Waiting) Ridge arranged themselves comfortably on the bed.
Princess~Queen Cass and Princess Lil Belle lay under the ceiling fan and got comfy. The Princess rested her chin on the Princess~Queen's Kuranda bed as the story began. "Chapter 15," read the HRM, " 'The Quidditch Final'..."

After the daily chapter was read and Book was put away, the Pack wandered out into the living room. Through the French Door windows they could see Lady Bugs swarming above the deck and Lady Bugs climbing up the screens.
"Hmmmm," said Princess Lil Belle sagely as she looked out the window, "perhaps I'll just enjoy a little sunshine in the safety of the living room." And in the end, the rest of the Pack joined her. The End

 ...hazel used a little artistic license to bolster the plot, since there basically was no plot...  There are thousands of them, and they do fly through the air, but they don't mass into clouds. They have been known to coat the sunny side of the house, however.  And of course I love to share the Pack...and now I have no excuse (except a failing connection) to withhold them. Quote:
--I'll bet the Pack would have been willing to put up with the humiliation of wearing them just to be safe from the annoying Lady Bugs!The Pack barks  for all the compliments.

Yeah, they can be pretty disgusting. When we first moved here, I was washing windows in the exposed side of the basement and I noticed the dogs were digging. So I cranked open the window, stuck my head out to tell them to knock it off, and about 500 dead lady bugs fell out of the casement into my hair!
And when we changed out the light fixture in the dining room the old fixture was totally packed with lady bug carcasses inside.

yeah, nothing quite like quietly reading in bed and suddenly having the Thundering Herd ride roughshod over your head on its way to save the lamp from Lady Bugs!
