Fogged up the camera lens too. Wetness everywhere - 6 inches of rain so far this month. Mushrooms are everywhere as well. The front mulch bed smells strongly of mushroom. There are more little brown parasols and a couple of larger, ragged-looking reddish gill mushrooms, maybe russula. Many other yards have fairy rings of white mushrooms.
At lunch, a squirrel scampered past with a pecan in its mouth. Why don't I ever find any pecans under the tree?
The argiope continues to prosper. She fattened up c
onsiderably after the moth and looks ready to lay eggs. She was busy with the web again today - the threads show up faintly across the top of the porch light. It is fascinating to see her move through the air and then dab a spot with the tip of her abdomen to tack the thread in place. The spider that I suspect is her mate is lurking in the lower right edge next to the door frame. At least she is tolerating its presence.
