My husband was working around the yard this week, getting things ready to plant lettuce, cutting the grass, weeding flower beds (I did help a little with that!)...
Spring Cleaning outside.
He called me to the door and had to show me what all he was finding!
If you listen (or read) Judy Simmons, you'll find I do like bugs.
Not spiders though.
Not even dead spiders.
Yuck.
That bears repeating.
YUCK!
My husband found about 7 of these beauties...Very much alive.
Yep.Black Widows.
If you look closely, you can see the small speck of red right at her bottom.
This particular one has a body the size of a dime.
That's just her body! If you include her legs, she was about the size of a freaking quarter!
And he said that wasn't even the biggest one!
So, while you're doing all your Spring Cleaning,
do remember that all the other creatures are coming out too...

I also hate spiders. Once when I was student teaching in Miami, there was a tarantula in the school closet and I still shudder at the memory.
