Our early morning quiet
isn’t necessarify.
Even when the noisy, giant
fan blowing air across the cows
at the barn to counter the.
steamy humidity is silenced by
cooling breezes, other sounds
invade that space between dawn
and sunrise. The milking sys
tem motors, pumps, and com
pressors hum a steady, dull
background. Jarring noises of an
eighteen-wheeler connecting
with a bump in the interstate
pavement floats up through the
‘holler.’
And a chorus of assorted bird
songs float down from the maple
canopy, including the chirps of
the cardinals demanding a bird
feeder refill.
Often during this “quiet” time

of day, I log onto the computer to
access e-mail and check a couple
of regular websites on the
Internet. But, on one recent rare
occasion, the dial-up failed to
make connection. No e-mail or
www-website checking in that
early morning quiet time.
As the day wore on, though,
websites turned up with embar
rassing frequency. For as long as
I can remember, this phenome
non has occurred annually, as
the summer wanes and wobbles
toward fall solstice. Reality is,
the entire farm has become one
big web network. And there are
umpteen addresses of the sites,
accessible through fww.
Farm Wide Web.

Host for this website is a
small, front-door spider. Its
dusty web is neatly woven
around the circle of grapevines
shaping the door decoration, and
carefully attached in among the
fluffs and folds of the fading
pink paperhusk bow. From this
lair, the spider awaits the
assorted bugs it may snag as
they are attracted to the porch
light and become its breakfast
guests. A sort of spider
fuiw.bugbuffet.
Not too far away is another
web location, fww.bath
roomwindowscreen. This site,
originally installed to discour
age insect pests, instead sup
ports a couple of patches of web
woven by a cousin to the front
door resident. Surrounded by
the patchy web, the spider host
enjoys a view of the backyard
framed by trees and the vista of
contoured fields beyond.
A more highly developed site,
with oodles of links to web hosts,
caught my attention recently
while milking. Several large
vented sections in the dairy barn
ceiling connect with fans
installed high up in the barn
attic. It’s part of the ventilation
system designed to continually

old barn by colonies of spinners.
At fww.frilly fences, our artis
tic arachnids have woven fanci
ful, symmetric webs among the
split-rail that surrounds the
yard, truly lovely sites when the
dew which gathers on them
sparkles in the early-morning
sun. And a vast website exists at
fww.pureorganicplants, our
backyard and garden where the
absence of pesticides encourages
spider creations hanging on
everything from the seven-feet
sunflowers to the diminutive
and dainty gerbera daisies.
Indeed, our Farm Wide Web is
getting highly cluttered and is
badly in need of some cleaning
up. There is an effective web
virus that should do the trick.
