We’re minus one erev member today, as my son is out of state at a conference.  I confess I was getting spoiled by his weekly presence, but I’m happy he’s able to travel more freely for work.  I’ll take what I can get!

Meanwhile, the show must go on.  The flower and critter show, that is.  I witnessed our resident garden spider enthusiastically wrapping up some prey in white silk packages for later consumption.  Nearby this hairy caterpillar was enjoying the cowpeas.  Evidently those are a big attraction.  Glad I could oblige.
