Green.\u00a0 Where do I begin?\u00a0 I see it through every window; the yard and gardens are full of it.\u00a0 In my back yard, a fig tree laden with green figs overgrows a garden of zantedeschias and red valerian, both flowerless here, and lemon balm, a relative of mint. Two steps hide beneath the luxuriance but to descend you’d have to break the spider’s web stretched between the fig tree and the rose bush on the right (out of sight).\u00a0 I caught the web this afternoon with the western sun hitting its silken threads.\u00a0 The spider hides inside a rolled leaf thinking she’s invisible because we can’t see her face, but her legs are hanging from the leaf roll.\u00a0 You might have to zoom in.<\/p>\n
