Flatmates

You might recall the raspberry branches which I planted... Well, you'd
hardly recognize them now! In the bright light of a lovely late Spring
 day, I find that they brought friends. Skeins of finest spiderweb are  
all over many of the leaves, tended by thrifty tribes of tiny red spiders.

(Coda: a friend who's a horticultural adept thought they were probably doing the raspberry no good, so I've evicted them. Or tried.)
