Maybe I might need to snap some pics of our battalion of “racing stripe” spiders in and around the house.

I should have taken pics but this was cute.

I was out buying chicken food so i got back late. i was 45 minutes behind schedule shutting up chickens. I always have to put the little ones in the run first or they wont go in wiht all the big ones already in there.

I came home all the big ones were inside waiting for food, couldnt for the life of me find the beebee 4. I looked all over until i finnaly heard them cheeping lightly... Couldnt place where they were just kept looking and looking, then i found them sleeping in a tight ass bite of tiny trees, they were so comfy i was able to scoop all 4 up lol.

darn critters.

Ponders good morning one and all!

72 partly sunny and 95 % humidity.

I have spiders every where and they have the sticky webs.

Have a great day!

Hot and sticky on my lily pad. It's the sort of day where 'Sour' ends up smelling sour. My daughter calls it the 'Wallace Stench'.

Have I told you lately that you’re evil?

Do you remember Duckling’s infatuation with her pet spider? It fed the birds, baked, and played Candy Land with us!

Well Ponders, I have a tale of horror for you.

I had decided to take a nice bath to destress after my day and get ready for bed. Let me set the scene. I am relaxing, the water is the perfect temperature, and the music of 2Cellos is playing softly. I am reading on my Kindle app on my phone.

Out of the corner of my eye, I see something brown suddenly fall from above, and I hear it hit the edge of the tub. Hmm, I think, best investigate that. I look from my phone to the edge of the tub, see nothing, and track my gaze over to my body, where A LARGE BROWN SPIDER is now perched.

My brain goes into panic mode immediately, because I am afraid of spiders. My brain orders my body to remove the spider immediately but also don't touch it. So of course the best course of action is to use MY PHONE to shoo it off my stomach. Except now it is floating in the water with me. Quick, use the phone to fling it out!

It was at this point that my wits partially returned and I realized I was plunging a VERY expensive water sensitive piece of equipment that is pretty integral to my life into the water. I get ahold of myself and use my free hand to swish water, and the spider, out of the tub.

The floor is soaked. There is a large spider somewhere in my bathroom. My phone has been partially submerged into the tub. The notes of My Heart Will Go On play softly in the background as I contemplate what just happened.

Needless to say the bath was over. The spider is still somewhere in my bathroom. I have used towels to soak up the water. My phone helpfully informed me that water was detected in the charging port, and I should make sure it's fully dry before charging it. I used canned air to blow water out of the port, hopefully that does it, I won't plug it in until it dies to be sure.

So much for relaxing before bed.

I probably would have drowned!

Spiders are great... when I am fully dressed and awake.....

And nowhere in sight!

And nowhere in sight!

For our 25th anniversary we went to Hawaii . Stayed at the place where they filmed "Blue Lagoon" - had our own little cabin - neat place. Years later we went back to Hawaii and revisited this place that had been devastated by a hurricane. The Princess wanted a picture of me by our now overgrown cabin. Through the thicket I went and then turned around, within inches of my face was a monstrous banana spider bouncing it's web towards me. I screamed, the Princess laughed.

It was trying to photobomb you… did the Princess get a picture immortalizing the event & the banana spider “dancing?”
