Wild Kingdom!

As you know, I love our backyard, but lately it's a little out of control.  I can't keep up with my tomatoes, eggplant, peppers or zucchinis.  I mean, our family can only eat so much ratatouille or pasta or frittatas.   Also, I just don't have enough time to cook all this stuff now that school and my internship has started.  Our yard, is also a haven for bees, which I love but what it also has become a hot spot for spiders. 

There are times I think I will wake up and our trees will look like these in Pakistan which are covered in spider webs after a flood.

This morning I found the casing of a brown widow egg sac...  this is when I need my chickens.  If only, I could rent chickens.
