karen, you're correct, it is an orbweaver. It may be neoscona crucifera, or the hentz's orbweaver. check this link, it's BugEric's blog: http://bugeric.blogspot.com/2012/11/spider-sunday-hentzs-orbweaver.html

Sorry I couldn't get a specific species for you, but I am quite sure it's an "orb weaver".
