Crivens!
I went out tonight to inspect the lawn as to its needing mowing this weekend ... and the juniper bushes bordering the lawn are LOADED with orb webs - each with a HUGE gold & black spider in the center. Webs are also located on both sides of the driveway. Taking out the trash will be a death defying experience! I backed away from the lawn slowly, alert for sudden movements!
Waily! Waily! Waily!
Why, yes - I did just finish reading Terry Pratchett's last novel ... why do you ask?
