My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Stink bug to the rescue!

7 years ago

Earlier, I was looking at the very sorry state of some of my coreopsis.

Saw this a little later on.


Isn’t nature great? Seems for about every problem, there is a solution showing up eventually.

Nearby, the ladybugs were at work, too.

    I've never seen that particular variety of stinkbug, Iris - it's actually pretty! What are the critters it's eating? I love your little ladybug!
