First, and most importantly, I can report that there are no fewer than nine spiders - big and small but all the same species - who have created huge webs across 2/3 of the pond:
I was also instructed to check on the plant hanging from her treehouse and am pleased to report that it's covered in bright purple flowers:
Finally, the squash plant she planted in a cup in her pre-K class, which was replanted into a pot on our deck, is now about eight feet long, has grown off a metal table that it will soon completely consume, and this morning sported two, bright orange five-pointed flowers, with two more about to open. Here's an example:

Beautiful, it reminds me of the time my mother would take us out into the yard, especially after the rain, and there whould be earthworms, snails and frogs. And she would pick them up, just to show that there is nothing to be afraid of. The only thing I'm still afraid of is spiders. LOL Thanks for the post.
