NOT popcorn popping on the apricot tree....
A Spider.
Gross.
Why don't I like them?
Well, everyone tells me I should, mainly because they eat other bugs. What other bugs, do I ask? Cute little lady bugs, innocent flies, pesky mosquitos, and anything else that can get caught in there web.
I am feeling a tickle on my neck.... just a hair. It's all good.
So one very nice day, I looked out my window and I see a black wolf spider hanging out nonchalantly as if I wouldn't notice her new habitation. I tried to ignore her as the days went on, then finally I gave in and decided to name the darn thing.
Her name was Margrette.
Margrette started to grow on me and I didn't mind her as much as when I first discovered her. So one morning I looked out the window to see what good ole' Margrette was up to, and to my surprise a stupid, nasty, dumb, much larger spider was in her web. Margrette was no where to be found. He is brown and nasty and I am going to kill him. His hame is Willy and I don't like him. He ate Margrette. It's a spider eat spider world out there.
(I don't think you want to see the pics from this murder scene, I will spare your eyes)
All I have to say is that you are quite brave. If I saw a spider hanging out even on the other side of my window I would make sure Kurt would get rid of it. Down here in AZ I don't see too many big spiders, but I know they are still around.
