Ok, I'm raising my nose out of my library long enough to say this appears to be a Shamrock Spider! It is found throughout US and into Canada.They produce a new web each night, replacing the old web which they EAT strand by strand....maybe instead of submitting photos I'll just assign myself to solve all the Photo ID mysteries! .

It is indeed a shamrock spider (Araneus trifolium) & yes, that really is his abdomen, not an egg sack. It's an orb weaver & we have them around my house. Last summer I had one under the ledge of my deck & I kept feeding it & it got BIG.
Hello Nancy....A fine shot of this wonderful spider.....I think its called the Pillow spider...They are mostly found in beds,especially under the pillow....Only joking...Anyway well done...All the best....Mick.
