3 Weeks!

How does time fly when you are doing ‘nothing much’?

I have no answer for that. However I do have pictures. (Not well staged.)

My husband took the dog to Pooches this morning and while he was gone, the ‘spiders’ came. “I see the spiders are back,” he said when he got home. I’m kind of amazed he noticed it. (Don’t we all often walk around with our heads down and don’t pay attention to our regular surroundings?)

I’ve done this each year we’ve been home in the fall. One of those things I saw on line and said, “I’ve got the perfect porch for this!” A couple of cup hooks and a ball of ‘thick’ yarn later and here we are. A neighbor down the road liked it enough to copy it one year after asking about how I did it. Nothing like a neighborhood of spiderwebs, lol.

This spider web I don’t mind. I have nothing against spiders especially web spiders, but remember all too well walking through their webs in the open fields near where I grew up. Ugh.

This also reminds me of the web builder that took advantage of a yard light my dad mounted on the house on Walnut Drive when I was a kid. The house was one floor in the front but had a walk out basement in the back and my dad put a yard light in the back peak. It was often on at night and some spider always found it a perfect spot for a home. You could see the web and spider from 2.5 floors below (on the ground) and with a light behind it was sure to attract night flying insects like juicy moths, so always a fat spider up there.

Signs of fall… spiders/webs, changing leaves and cooler temperatures.

My perennial hibiscus continues to keep flowering, and the crepe myrtles also. Golden rod in front and a mixture of things in back. And the climbing roses. Got to enjoy the color while it is present.
