Day 210: Big Ol' Spider

Today was gorgeous. It got up to 67 degrees. It was so beautiful out that I decided to open the sliders and let in some fresh air. The slider on the front porch is janky. The stupid door won't stay in the track. While I was outside kicking it into place (which made Rodney bite at my feet--I think he didn't realize they were my feet), I discovered this guy. I haven't really seen a lot of bugs or other critters in the area, so I was impressed with his size (check out his shadow) and as long as he stays outside, he's fine, but if he comes inside, I'll kill him. (I have strict policies when it comes to spiders.) Like I said, we haven't really seen much wildlife. The only wild animals I've seen in our complex are birds. Granted, they're giant black birds that make scary cawing noises and have such big wings that you can hear them flapping, but still... no squirrels, bunnies, nothing. I don't even see road kill. Perhaps that is due to mountain lions being in the area? (By the way, we did finally see some squirrels yesterday when we were at homeless point.)

  1. You don't see too many squirrels in the area cause that spider is eating them

  2. You were at "homeless point" what's that? Is that where all the homeless live?
