Blanket of Webs

This evening as the sun was setting.

my husband noticed the yard 

had a strange reflection.

He asked me to step outside

and as we stood on the patio and 

we looked out into the yard, 

there was a blanket of

spider webbing 

that went from the patio to the

fence line in the front yard -- nearly

two acres wide.

It's barely visible unless the sun hits it

(and I am sure my neighbors passing by

would not even notice it).

The sweeping webs 

are strung on bushes and trees

and over the mulch beds too.

I tried to get some good photos of it to share.

My husband suggested that I

 get down very low 

to see if that helped capture

the odd phenomenon on film

(which I did)

so now I am 

itching and scratching like crazy 

-- of course -- 

believing that

those tiny arachnids 

are probably on me now too.

Uggggh!

I have a bad case of the

HEEBIE JEEBIES

as we used to say as kids!

Has this ever happened in your yard?

Very strange!
