I couldn't even find an e-mail address on your blog …. so I'm writing you this way.

I did exactly the same thing last summer when one spider built her web in the window next to my art desk, and the other in the window where I look out while doing dishes. Since I have a very real fear of spiders, my biggest concern was that I would have nightmares!!!Peggy Haughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629904313725927404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3959678271197877448.post-11029074566666064722014-02-09T10:36:50.636-08:002014-02-09T10:36:50.636-08:00I can't wait for the next installment of Henri...I can't wait for the next installment of Henrietta's summer with you.

You have a special way of spinning a tale yourself, truthfully, of course! Spiders can be quite beautiful, but I like doing it at a distance with a zoom lens. Expected to see a zigzag section, but that must be only American garden spider webs? Thanks for taking notes and passing on your observations.Normahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07043892962487922169noreply@blogger.com
