While sitting on the lanai this morning, not sipping a capuccino or a latte or anything else, I noticed a tiny little spider that was making its way to a small bug, about the same size as the spider that had gotten snagged in the orb web. The spider quickly wrapped the bug in silk by turning and turning and turning the bug. The bug was still alive, because I could see its little legs moving. After the spider was satisfied with the cocoon wrap, it moved the wrapped bug to the center of the web. In about five minutes, the bug was noticably smaller and the spider was noticably bigger.

I was rooting for the bug. Perhaps you should have had a capuccino or a latte. Seriously, that is a cute accounting of a bad situation.
It's the little things in a day that make it memorable, isn't it?
One of my homeschool bloggers stole your idea, Dad, for a tour of her kitchen. Check it out at http://caygibson.typepad.com/cays_cajun_cottage/2006/08/walk_into_my_la_1.html#comment-21033142 Sorry I don't know how to make a link here in Comments...
