Noticed as we came back from dinner my neighbor apple trees are near leafless and near full apples .. I’ve never seen them like that before, must be the dry weather
That's why fruits exist

That's why fruits exist
Mums the word. Gervasi Vineyards, Canton, Ohio. Taken yesterday.
This little fella has decided to live on my bench!
There's still one in Sitka Alaska. Or there was in 2018.
One of the situational considerations we (of the ATL ilk) have faced over the past decade is that of the influx of the joro spider (Trichonephila clavata) into our environment.
The Joro is an apex-populator, and their growth and population have severely severely-impacted the populations of the other arachnids in our environment.
I became so inflamed with the objective observations of the inbability the occupiers of my Space (orb-weavers, and garden ("writing") spiders this past Summer, that I comprehensively (and compulsively) destroyed the [entire] joro population on my Property.
No Spider Left Behind.
That being said: it is my memory of running-through the night, wrapped in the being of these beautiful creatures that affirms my memory.
Unfortunately, it's been over seven years since I observed a regular orb-weaver on my Property.
Thank you for sharing.
I find myself in wonder on the idea of just how such busy-ness can actually become so calm.
So the ivy bees cover our ivy at this time of year. The hum can be heard half way across the lawn there are so many of the busy bees!
