One day I feel sure I shall open the front door to find that we are totally encased in spider webs.
Bit by bit, in spite of my blundering about, the web is widening.
.
The milkweed
The few remaining black-eyed Susans
.
The corpse of a mallow which grew from the side of the house, producing such beautiful flowers.
Hopefully it will reseed itself. I'll try planting seeds in better locations next year, although plants seem to prefer doing their own thing. At least in my garden.
.
Willow dodged easily around and under the webs to find her favourite grass.
Despite all the webs we seldom see a spider "at home".

However one bright day recently, we walked down to the field.
.
The field is totally wild and I don't venture there because it would be easy to get a foot caught and fall.
And because of ticks.
But Grant carved out a small portion making it possible for me to walk all the way down.
.
There I peeped over at the adjacent corn field and watched for birds that live in these hedges but don't come to the feeders.
Wrens probably.
.
They flitted in and out, making it hard to get a photograph and impossible to identify.
To me this looks like a house sparrow or a field sparrow.
It could very easily be one of my regulars just checking to see what I was up to.
"Don't invite anyone to eat our sorghum!"
How convenient that it grew beside their bush.
.
The pine trees have grown a lot
.
A better look at the cornfield.
It's always interesting to view a scene from different perspectives.
