It’s time to start cleaning up in the garden.

Be careful you do not remove some future friends.

We must not compost our companions.

You may recall my writing spider friends

named for the plants they lived on.

Two of the three left behind egg sacs.

Lucy (on the Lucifer) hid hers beside the gutter’s down spout.

Fern (on the Autumn fern) attached hers to the highest fronds.

I most be careful to leave these in a safe place.

It’s nice to know there are future friends

waiting in the garden.
