"Do you understand how there could be any writing in a spider's web?"
"Oh, no", said Dr. Dorian. "I don't understand it. But for that matter I don't understand how a spider learned to spin a web in the first place. When the words appeared, everyone said they were a miracle. But nobody pointed out that the web itself is a miracle."
-Charlotte's Web
We have two giant garden/writer spiders in the yard. They are so fascinating!
ReplyDeleteI found the neatest black and yellow spider in our garden today but am not sure what kind it is. Hmmm...do you have a book on this kind of stuff? (I bet your boys know this kind of stuff!)
DeleteWe call them Charlotte :) I find a few every year. They are amazing!
DeleteI'm not certain the official name but that is what they look like - and their webs have a zig-zag design in the middle.
DeleteI'll admit there are a few too many webs both inside my house and just outside the doors for my liking right now, but you're right, they are beautiful - I just wish they'd stay outside!!
ReplyDeleteWe have webs in my house too! In corners and places I don't want......hmmm, maybe I should clean more, lol :)
