New Tenant


Shock of shocks, I'm actually blogging after almost a full year. Well, I hope it's worth it--we'll see.

A new tenant has moved in at my house, uninvited. In fact, if this tenant had actually moved in inside the house, it would have been evicted forthwith. As it is, I can't really get at it, so I just watch it, cringing all the while.

If you look really carefully in this first picture right up against the eaves, you can see a little light brown spot that looks kind of like a leaf. Maybe you can see it better in the other picture. That is my new tenant spider. The web is right up off the eaves of the house on the patio and I guess attached to the shed at the bottom. (NOTE: If you click on the picture, it's much easier to see.)



Maybe he's easier to see in this next picture. Anyway, you can see the web. I was watching the other afternoon while I was on the phone, and saw the spider come down on it's web and gobble up something that had gotten caught.




Anyway, I'm assuming it will be gone before too much longer as we have a cold front coming through this week that will significantly drop temperatures. I'm just glad it's outside and out of reach.
