Frustrated Gravy Arroyo?

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Half an hour ago I would have called it Relaxed Gator Creek. That suddenly changed. Was cruising home for lunch after working in the garden all morning. Was riding an ATV on the back trails looking for any more trees downed by hurricane Ida. Suddenly something went down my throat & my face was covered in spider webs. So I'm now going with Startled Spider Forest. A huge Orb spider I think.

Argue for your limitations and they are yours forever.

Laughing here over Startled Spider Forest...

A couple years ago, I had a very bold orb spider who would web over the path to my front door every night and take it down every morning. The anchor segments were over 25 feet apart sometimes. I slept in while she was doing that!

"Slightly accomplished cashew summit"

Less catchy, but more motivating.
