I spotted this little beauty on Friday night just outside the cottage door. I had seen her web weeks before but I had never seen who inhabited it. Apparently she comes out after dark because I had to use a flashlight to illuminate her. I believe she is a common Garden Orb Spider and she is about an inch long. Pretty big spider! I think that is a moth that has been spun into a cocoon, Friday night dinner?
Saturday morning I woke with a craving for muffins. Lucky for me I had some fresh blueberries. They made a tasty breakfast treat.
Later in the day I went to check on the chicks and look what they gave me as a thank you for taking care of them
Such cleaver girls! This is the first and therefore is a special, blessed egg. There have been duplicate offerings each day since. I believe one of the Light Brahmas is the thoughtful hen. Her sisters should be following her lead soon.
Here is the special egg in a carton of store bought I just purchased the day before. Isn't it cute? From what I understand they should get progressively larger as both types of chicks are large egg layers.
The last week in August, can you believe it? Where has the summer gotten too? I hope your weekend was filled with special finds.
