Aren't they amazingly quick? As if you hadn't driven your car for ages. Feat of speed. I've also seen incredible feats of distance covered - between our garden and the neighbours'. How do they do it?

They are. And what most gets me is the work and effort for something that is so vulnerable to damage or to being obliterated. We spend lots of money building things we hope will last for decades or longer and are devastated when it turns out otherwise. Spiders just keep going. Great to see your comments, Laurie. Hoping this finds you thriving, Glen

I just spent hours weeding my yard. If only the wanted plants grew so quick.: -)
