    If you watch closely, you can see all sorts of wonderous things outside of my computer room window. Today, a garden spider is repairing and respinning her web that was damaged by the rains this week. She is about as big as a nickle, not counting her long legs and is an array of colors throughout her body and all along her legs of dark brown and bright orange. Her web, when we first saw it was the wagon wheel type and she caught her meals mostly at night when the moths came to the window drawn to the light. During the daytimes, she had snacks of the hornets or wasps that buzzed around her web. There were two webs and the other spider is now gone, either to the weather or became this spider’s meal.

    I can watch and wonder at this industry and not have any creepy crawly feelings because he/she is on the other side of a tight window and a storm window. However, if I was outside it would be a whole different story.
    I think it is interesting yet, I know some don’t like to think of these critters, let alone watch them at work. So, if I have offended anyone, sorry.
