NOT in my backyard . . . PLEASE!


So I went outside to be with the kids today. I sat on our rock wall and looked down beside me and was shocked to find this . . .


A very large black widow spider and it's beautifully maintained egg sack
(the red belly was staring at me - Aaaa!!)
I very, nonchalantly, went inside and grabbed the spider spray!


Do you think I used enough?

Jason later went to dispose of the dead.
Thank you Jason!!

YUCK!!!!! I hate spiders! I hope we don't find one in our backyard- especially being summer and days spent outside! EEEEEWWWWWWW!!! Hope you don't find anymore....

I hope you had a super-powerful zoom lens when you took that picture! I can't even imagine getting within 10 yards of the thing! Now will you PLEASE post something else so that isn't the first thing I see when I look at your blog? Why did I have to read this right before bed? Nightmares!
