Autumn?

I'm expecting rain because its a public holiday, but the forecast is good. Today I was up early (for me, on a Saturday), as I had an appointment with the Bank at 9am. Why do I need an appointment to close an account? Well, as you have surely guessed, its a marketing opportunity. So up and out by 8:45. It was a foggy morning, but already the sun was strong and my spirits were raised. "It' going to be a nice day!" When I got back I walked into the garden. My feet were immediately wet from the dew, and the garden is covered in spiders webs:This is probably normal behaviour for spiders, but it struck me how much is going on in the world. What do they catch that low to the ground - they must catch something or they wouldn't spin webs. So there is a whole 'insect' world in my garden that I've hardly thought about, until the dew made a small part of it visible.

Later the kind lady who comes to help with our garden (I fix her computer in return) was round, and more clearing up was done. The garden looks better than its been for a good few years. When she comes, we are motivated to do some as well, so real progress is made.
