I love my new King Tut threads, and I'm eager to try my new bias tape maker.
The Sweet Autumn Clematis has overtaken the back of this tall stool. And, uh, due to my laziness in restricting it, much of this bed. It is growing on an old wooden stepladder that has long since disappeared in the greedy vines.
The mending here looks messy and hurried. Such a shame that meals make such a mess of the his web...
Although a little late, I've divided and transplanted a bunch of iris. The rain yesterday will make the transition easier. Hope to get some more garden chores done today, and then tonight maybe some hand work.
WHAT kind of spider is that anyway ?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph !
I agree, great photo...I love spider webs...especially with dew drops on them...Your clematis is lovely, and who says you didn't plan to have it grow that way, hmmmm? =-)Reminds me of my jasmine that I posted this morning on my blog...I love trailing cines...
ReplyDelete...that would be: trailing VINES...fat finget syndrome this morning...
ReplyDeletehahahahaha! fat FINGER strikes again! hahahaha!
ReplyDeleteThat's a Golden Orb Weaver spider, and the web isn't mended. They make it like that on purpose. Some of their webs are big enough to cover an entire door frame and they're absolutely beautiful. The common name around here is writing spiders because of the "knitting" in the webs, and they're a real treat to have in the yard, especially beautiful in the morning.
ReplyDeleteMarie -- Delta left a comment giving its name as Golden Orb Weaver. Beautiful, isn't it? She also gave more information about it...check her comment below.
ReplyDeleteDebby -- I'm still laughing at your comments! Miff Fat Fingets!
Delta -- Thanks! I didn't know the name (which is beautiful) or that the "knitting" was part of their web style. My husband said that in the woods you need a stick held in front of you to avoid getting the webs all over you, and I thought that it was sad to have to destroy all of those huge webs to get through the woods.
Isn't it great to have blogging friends with so much knowledge to share? I loved the info about that beautiful spider.
ReplyDeleteGerrie -- Yes, it is great to have such a wide expanse of knowledge available! I had not thought of it that way, but you can post the most arcane and/or practical questions on a blog and SOMEONE will know the answer! I've received quite a lot of help on quilting matters by asking directly, but have received information, clarification, and instruction on all kinds of subjects just from comments on other matters.
