Itsy Bitsy Spider

For weeks this spring I would battle a spider who built a gigantic web over our deck. Every morning I would take the web down and every night she would build it back. Sometimes I would forget and walk into it. Yuck.

One morning I was getting ready to take the web down and glanced at the trunk of the tree and there she was. She must have been there watching me destroy all her work every morning. The guilt washed over me. I started just walking around the web from that day on.

Our yard is full of lizards, squirrels, and birds. Not sure what happened, but one morning there was no web and there hasn't been since. I kind of miss the little gal.
