A curious little insect is the boxelder bug. Related to the stinkbug, this harmless pest can become quite a nuisance.
Here are a few quick facts about the boxelder bug:
Their name is derived from the fact that they are frequently found around boxelder trees (as well as maple). Their favorite summer home is in trees.
Boxelder bugs are very mobile, and they can easily move from trees to man-made structures. One of their most annoying traits is to leave feces that may stain light-colored surfaces.
In autumn, these pesky bugs congregate around south-facing surfaces on rocks, buildings, and trees. They appreciate the warmth and sun. At this same time, they will seek winter shelter in homes, sheds, and garages. After hibernating in their cozy winter confines, they will emerge in March and April in order to journey back to the trees.
Since boxelder bugs are eager to enter houses, homeowners are wise to take time to seal around windows and doors. This will help to prevent these bugs from entering inside to find a winter home. They also dislike the smell of herbs such as sage, whole cloves, and lavender.

From Joshua 24:15: “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Nightly journey
Making every turn
Dreamland Express
Locomotive churns
Night’s stardust twirls
Beaming moonlight shines
Dreams coloring
Brilliant skyline
Stillness breathing
Dancing with more guests
Each dream connects
Peace surrounds night’s quest
Endless travels
Finding elation
Dreams speak softly
Night’s destination
Early dawn’s pause
Closing nighttime’s gate
Dreamland Express
Morning’s station waits
