THE SPIDERS ARE COMING

On Friday I commented

That I hadn’t seen a single

Orb Weaver Spider this year.

Well, I must have some sort of

Internal bug clock

Because Saturday morning I walk into the garden

And presto.

Not one,

Not two

But I find four young orb spiders

Spinning their zig zaggy web.

I love this harbinger of fall.

They have fascinated John and Debra

And me

And the girls next door for years.

Their presence is just one sign

That the season is winding down.

This happy bug is another sign

That fall is on it’s way.

Signals

Signs

Something’s coming.

Watch.

Observe.

Learn.

And enjoy.

Here’s what all was blooming in my garden this week for the Sunday arrangements.

    You are so lucky your Orb spiders are visiting your garden. I don’t have any just yet but am hopeful they will appear soon.
