"One day a few years ago, I was charmed to notice that a good-sized garden spider was maintaining a newly-spun web every night just outside my patio door."
What a wonderful story of your own Charlotte and right in the backyard. I was amazed to see the rainbow colors of her web. I recently bought a picture book version of Charlotte's Web for a baby shower. It's a great introduction to the classic that this little girl will hopefully read one day. That was SOME WEB to see, right here in Croton.
What a lovely essay! On our deck as well we occasionally see a magnificent web of the kind described by Mr. Dollar! We shall look more closely at it next time and see if we can catch sight of its weaver. "Charlotte's Web," of course, was also a favorite childhood book of mine and later of our daughter's.
well done, well spun

Where can I get one of these spiders?
