I don’t really know what I was intending to write for this week because when I sat down to type, a spider crawled across my desk and I lost him! Then I lost my train of thought! There is nothing worse than seeing spiders as “not my friends” except seeing them and losing them! I picked up the pad of paper I thought it probably crawled in but alas! No spider!
Having admitted before that I really don’t like spiders, I am admitting now that tonight when I go to bed I will feel this spider crawling on me! That’s just the way it is. When I call The Colonel in to kill a spider, if it gets away from him, no matter the reason, I know the spider is going to visit me when I try to sleep.
Coming in the Sun Porch door this evening, I spotted in the corner a spider in a web. I got the one I saw but there were actually two spiders in that web sack and I missed the second one! It is time to spray again!! No matter how hard we try to get rid of them, it seems that there are always some spiders hanging around. I know that is part of country living but give me a break! We are friends to almost everything that visits the Red Oak Ranch. The Colonel likes the “green eyed” spiders but I don’t like any of them!!
