Near the cabin there is a sandpit that we visit daily. It is a treasure trove of cool nature discoveries from tadpoles and red foxes to wildflowers and insects. When I spied this weird, bumpy spider, Sawyer guessed right away that it was covered with eggs. And, sure enough, when I leaned in, I could see the individual eggs mounded on the spiders back!
