Spring and fall are ladybug season in VT and it is very common for ladybugs to gather near windows. They are NOT harmful but we like to give our renters a heads up regardless.
As expected the river water levels will fluctuate depending on rainfall, etc. There are times when it's shallower and times when it's deeper.
