Wow! That spider freaked me out when I first saw it! I like spiders but not really the bigger ones....

Day 5
The day I found all that cool stuff..... Disaster happened that night! It's kinda a unspoken problem, but I'll just say this... Someone I know, trusted someone that didn't needed to be trusted. :hit It makes me SO sad! I'm not a crying person, but it made me cry.. a few times.. I feel a tad better, but it still heartbreaks me. I have a headache right now to add on top of that as well. Then yesterday my sister went over to the chickens and (I have a broody) 1 of the 2 eggs that were under her were out in the middle of the run, ice cold!! Worse part is, is that my sister bought those eggs and she had bought 8, but 6 of em got smashed to pieces!

P.S
I found this yesterday.

Ooo!! Good pic of a garden spider, they are really good to have around....outside....they eat a lot of bugs, are pretty, and make really nice webs....when the dew gathers on the strands it is seen much better and can make for wonderful pics. Sorry to hear about the eggs, but it does happen and sometimes the hen will just leave them, too. We have ducks setting on eggs, but they won't stay on the eggs in the nest but keep moving the nest and leaving eggs behind with forming ducks in them. The only sure way to hatch some is with an incubator. Sure hope things get better for ya and the headache goes away, too.

They are pretty.... Especially with the dew on the webs! :love

Yeah. :/ Aww, that's so sad! :( Thanks! :) I've had a slight one, like all day, but I feel much better. :)

I understand. I just found out that my egg that froze is still alive! I'm hoping it's going to be strong enough to make it through hatching. :fl:fl:fl
:)
That's awesome! I hope so too. :fl If any hatch, I might get one. :/ I can't really candle the eggs either, because they are really dark and we don't have any suitable candling flashlight. :(
