Frank the Spider

All this summer we have been watching Frank the Spider. He/She ( ok it’s a girl cause it had babies, but still we like the name Frank, so sue us lol) would set up its web by our front porch, then be there all night, then in the morning, poof, it was gone, and you could see Frank sleeping in its little crevice in the porch ceiling

The next night, around dusk, Frank would begin the neat pattern of swinging all around, and there would be it’s beautiful web. The kids got to feed Frank a moth, and we watched it zip right out and wrap it up. Then by the end of the summer, we found this….

Really hard to see, but that’s a baby spider on Keiths hand!!!!! Pretty soon, after we kept seeing the cute little babies practice spinning their webs, we went out one evening and Frank was not there. It was that time I guess, insert the sad moaning of wilbur the pig when Charlotte dies. We had fun watching Frank and we even got to identify what type of spider Frank was… an orb weaver. We learned a lot about spiders and how they are defintely a part of God’s plan even though they can be a bit spooky sometimes!!!! What a fun lesson for all of us! And it was truly beautiful to see the web each night!
