After playing in the rain we decided to open the windows and cool off the house. The rain cooled the area off about 20 degrees (it was about 74 degrees after the rain). Since the temperature most of the summer has been 110+ and we have only lived in this house for 2 months we had not opened any windows to this point. Additionally, the house had been unoccupied for a year before we moved in. Anyway, I opened the window and saw:
needless to say, I immeadiately closed the window (to keep our unwelcome guest trapped) and called Kurt to get some spider spray at the store. Here are some more pictures.

How funny!
ReplyDeleteWe once lived in an apartment that was close to some railroad tracks and one day I saw something move out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was mouse, it was so big. It ran between our refrigerator and the counter. I walked over to see what it was, and imagine my surprise! It was a wolf spider. They are VERY big! I had never seen one before and I thought maybe it was a tarantula. It scared me! I didn't want it running around the house though, so after a pep talk from my father over the phone ~ he reminded me that I was much bigger than the spider =) ~ I had to kill it. YUCK! I still feel the heebie jeebies just thinking about it! LOL
