Spider and dew-jeweled web

A minor cold front moved through last night, and though such weather patterns are supposed to bring rain, or, at least, a brief thunderstorm, climate change has decreed that all such precipitation will more or less miss our area. The continuing drought is threatening to absolutely unnerve me, but I'm not able to do anything about it, so I just curse the heavens about precipitation gifts withheld and wish we could live somewhere else besides Ground Zero in an incipient desert. This Black and Gold Garden Spider has no such concerns. She's got her web in place, and the heavy dew this morning has provided her with all the moisture she'll need. The lack of rain reduces the amount of work she'll have to do repairing any damage from web-ripping downpours, and the non-stop sunny days mean that she'll have plenty of insect prey airborne and flying into her web. It's perfect weather for a spider. For a human whose well requires recharge every now and then, it's high-anxiety time.
