I have been keeping tabs on this spider and her web.
She had a prime place along the fence near the gate.
She is very cautious because it’s fairly exposed but there
is a light at the top of the post that is a great place to hide.
I even walked by when she was being romanced by her mate.
Out of all the spiders she has done very well.
I notice since I took this photo
she isn’t in her usual place and her web is in disrepair.
I think she has finished her duty and laid her eggs.
I hope to see her spiderlings in the spring!
