Will turned 9 years old today!
He got a nice massage yesterday for his birthday, and, of course, his biggest present came 6 weeks ago. He might not have been too sure about her then but after some time together, he seems to have decided she’s a pretty good companion after all.
They are looking more and more alike and spending lots of time close together. Today, Blessing busted out of the trees when she thought Will had gone to the barn with me, calling and calling for him. She found him, though, because we hadn’t left at all and I watched them greeting each other happily, then wander off together.
Here he is checking out where she is, way off in the trees, looking very majestic and grown up.
Happy Birthday, dear boy.

This Saturday, Blessing celebrated six weeks in her new home!
She’s settling in quite nicely and seems very comfortable!
And she and her brother are getting along very well. Here they are running up in Sunday morning–the photo is foggy because the camera fogged up in the humid air—-but I think the image is still clear enough!

After a week of rains, the spiders were out on Saturday. Every fence along my route to Taipan Station as covered in spider webs. The dew had collected on them, making them shine in in the early morning light. The grasses were also covered in webs, like little parachutes resting on the grass. But look at the wrong angle and they disappeared in the sunrise. Once I got to TS, I was able to stop along the road and try to take some photos.
And then, I focused on the spiders. These are all different individuals.
On Sunday, I manage to catch one preparing a little breakfast snack.
