	Long Grass and Ladybugs 5 mins 34 secs QuickTime Movie (33MB) View movie Download

This delicate flower petal of a film short comes as the result of the inspired work of many talented artists and friends. Actors, film crews, editors, sound engineers, art directors, set designers, hair and makeup artists, costume designers, extras, all came together in this project and created a film on a level that surpassed even our most unreasonably optimistic hopes. Our good fortune to film in places of extraordinary beauty is evident in the glimpses you’ll get of the old world elegance of Duluth Minnesota’s Glensheen Mansion as well as in the rare view of the 1903 watercolor theater backdrops in the Masonic Temple Theater. I’m more than a little bit relieved and certainly grateful that the film was able to rise to the bench mark of uncompromising purity set by Cheryl’s lyrics and remarkable voice.

And so, please enjoy our film, truly a labor of love.

Song Lyrics:

In the Spring air, we'll invite you back
There'll be roses in your petal, and a flower in your glass
Beyond the summer that I know, where do ladybugs go?
While you wintered, mosses slept
Then the sun arose, and the promise was kept

Chorus:
In the strands of the jubilee, ladybugs at tea
Long grass and ladybugs,
You may summon me
Where's your lighted hall?
Ladies all...
Stamen chandeliers lighting the eye
Ladies understand the Spring
Butterfly rides, bee pollen pies
Ride on a butterfly wing
When the dandelion flies, I know it's time
When the moss has grown by the big round stone
Big stone, big round stone

Chorus:
Where's your lighted hall?
Ladies all, ladies all
