Flying Spiders

We've got spiders flying all over the place this morning. Nice still day (so far), and very hot so there are nice thermals for them get up into the air. When you look up into the sky, there are little strands of white spiderweb all over the place. There are a few swallows flying amongst the spiderwebs too, but the little spiders are so tiny, I don't know if they make much of a snack. The other day when we were driving back from Vredenburg, there were strands of spiderweb blowing from the telephone-lines all along the road. I wonder where all these little spiders hatched and where they are going to end up. Some of them are really high up in the sky so they could end up far, far from here.

I don't know anything about which kind of spiders do this, or if they all do. The only reason I know that spiders do this at all if from Charlotte's Web (the movie). Must look it up. They more you learn about things, the more you discover how little you know. Life is one long learning experience.
