Critterhaven Gardens

All summer long Charlotte and her sister Charlene have hung out just outside of our back kitchen door doing their business. We check on them daily, talking to them and appreciating the work they are doing and marveling at their beautiful and intricate handiwork, even throwing them a bug or two along the way.

Yesterday afternoon we noticed Charlotte was not on her web and when we looked up she had created 7 beautiful egg sacks so we knew it was her last day with us. Sure enough she is gone this morning, but has left us several thousand little babies that will be hatching in the spring.

Her sister Charlene continues on but I know her time is short also.

Just more of Gods beauty and handiwork on display.

We will have to move all of Charlottes egg sacks to the corner of the house under shelter instead of under the ladder which we’ve not been using but will have to soon. I’ve been reading up on how to do that and will make a video of the process to share when I do.

Going to miss them more than I thought 😢
