Incredible spiders.
Apparently Mother Nature outdid herself when she came up with a grand design for my backyard. A whole slew of “writing spiders” moved into the fence line, covering the Mexican sunflowers and the mums with huge webs and giant X’s on them… filled with dangling Japanese beetles doing a death dance. It’s creepy. Makes my skin crawl.
BUT! My wife tells me I can’t mow or trim shrubs until the spiders leave. Seems she’s doing a “natural yard” this August. Now that is not creepy — it is awesome! A month with no trimming. Life is sweet.
