  University of Georgia entomologist Nancy Hinkle said in a press release that these "beautiful creatures" offer "free pest control." "Joro spiders present us with excellent opportunities to suppress pests naturally, without chemicals, so I'm trying to convince people that having zillions of large spiders and their webs around is a good thing," Hinkle said. https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/zillions-of-big-spiders-are-about-to-invade-the-east-coast/ar-AAUXoKV?ocid=msedgntp&fbclid=IwAR2mssisI1vpy5T-DNGpy45enXbWozyyw76fCKYc-qXZSTU6cJQkKr3yEM0

  Bonita's suet cake recipe:  It's the Christmas season; time for giving. Let's not forget our backyard birds. Here is a recipe for suet cakes that I take out every year to make a treat for those birds in my backyard: 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 1 cup lard 2 cups quick-cooking oats 2 cups cornmeal 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup sugar 1-1/2 cups black oil sunflower seed or mixed bird seed (whatever you have) Melt peanut butter & lard together. Stir in remaining ingredients, including the bird seed. Pour into square or rectangular pan (mixture should be about 1”- 1-1/2” thick). Cool completely & cut into squares. These freeze well.
