We have our very own "Very Busy Spider" in the Heritage CDC Learning Garden! When I was out in the garden contemplating whether or not to start pulling everything up I found her. A spider that had spun a web between the butterfly bush and the green pepper plant. In the middle of the web is a series of ball shaped sacks. I love spiders. I love them in books. I love them in songs. I love them in the garden. I admire their work ethic. I admire their diligence. Needless to say, I left everything in the garden for one more week...who knows what other spiders might need a place to spin a web?
"The autumn days grow short and cold;
I'ts Christmas time again.
Then snows of winter slowly melt.
The day grows short, And then...
He turns the seasons around,
And so she changes her gown;
Mother Earth and Father Time.
How very special we are
For just a moment to be
Part of life's eternal rhyme."
Charlotte's Web by EB White
