Come out, come out whereever you are.
Laura found this turtle crossing the street. Apparently the chicken was laid off, paving the way for the slower, less efficient workers willing to accept a lower wage.
Zooooooommm.
Actually, for a turtle, he is quite quick.
And for phase 2, we have the highly respectable Lady Bugs.
Lady Bugs, ATTACK!!!
"Jolly, oh, dear fungi, won't you kindly depart the premises?"
An elegant show of force.
"Ah, very good, Gov'nor. Looks like our job here is done. Cheerio."
And like that, they were gone. Similar to The Usual Suspects, just when you were about to figure out what was going on, they disappeared into the night. According the the Lady Bug instructions (yes, the Lady Bugs came with instructions), we were to release these little charmers into the garden at night or else they would fly away. Well, that's what we did, with the help of our little gardener, Nathan, who really enjoyed the little buggers, but when we awoke the next day, not a Lady Bug in sight. They absconded into the night.
At least they all seemed to do their jobs. The mushrooms are gone (Laura picked them all) and the bugs that were eating our leaves have either departed or moved onto the second course.
