That was a pretty spider but, if I never see one personally, I will be fine.

This time of year, there are always several large spiders with webs in the rabbitry. Nearly every day, I walk into at least one of them, and ask myself, "how many times do you have to do that before you remember to clear them out first??" Answer? "At least one more time, apparently."
Every time I turn around, some "new" news about Florence crops up. Duke Energy had set last Sunday as their target for getting all of their customers back on the grid; they missed their goal by about 5000 homes. NHCS system cancelled school a couple of days before landfall was anticipated, so whatever preparations could be made without anyone having to deal with missed classes. They had set October 1st as their target date to return to class. Well, we just got the news yesterday that they have bumped the return date to the 4th, and even that is iffy - apparently, they keep finding more damage. As the floodwaters are now making their way to the coast, communities that had begun the process of recovery are finding themselves dealing with even more issues, like broken sewer lines.
And why isn't 'mosquito' a four letter word? A couple of days ago, I heard the county bug truck out doing some "emergency" spraying in the neighborhood while I was doing the evening feed. When he got to the end of one road that is closest to our property, I heard him kick the sprayer into "high" (I didn't even know they had a "high" setting before that) and sit for 30 seconds or so before dropping back down and moving on.
Man, oh, man, Flo is the grits that just keep on giving.

Our Daytime High goes form 96 to 86 between today and tomorrow
That came through our area in Abilene yesterday but back to sunshiny this morning
Rainy and stormy way up here
Cool, sunny, very comfortable between 60-70's. Great sleeping weather.
Morning all yes much better sleeping temps
Ron your chicken supper looks so good! I want some!
Cool looking spider. But I have to many to deal with here. I had one last week biting me every night while I was sleeping. My arm swole up two inches.
I make up some peppermint spray and sprayed my entire room and bed. Washed my sheets and sprayed them.
The spider moved on thank goodness!
It's 87* here today with rain and a nice breeze.
It's going back into the 90's by the weekend.
Well paypal tried to put that 498. Charge back through my bank again this morning. After I told them for the last three days it was a fraudulent charge. I put a stop payment on it through my bank and told my bank not to accept any more charges from PayPal. I spent 2 hours getting transfered all over the place. And finally told the woman that I only used my PayPal debit card at Walmart in Selma Al. Last weekend. And thaty cards stay in a magnetic sleeve. I told her someone must have scanned my card and sold copies of it. That I did not make any payment to any hardware store. I also told her to freeze my account after she said she could not close it till they settled the charge and investigation.
My blood pressure was through the roof for the 4th day of this mess!
I told her if they tried to put it through my bank again I would call the police and press charges!
