aiiiiii
Soooo…this thing just ran across the floor. Okay, yes, I’m a little phobic (I gave myself the jim-jamms Googling for this image).
You know what that means? The Summer that we never had is now over. The (giant weasel-sucking) spiders are coming in to get warm.
When you read the headlines about “Hottest Summer EVARRR!” — think to yourself, “yeah, where?” Because we had one week in the Seventies, and the whole rest of the Summer has been days in the Sixties and nights in the Fifties. Not fun. Do please send over the globular warmening.
(Yes, it’s a terrible Photoshop, isn’t it? It’s Chinese night and I’m late making flied lice).

Is Chinese night kind of like Chinese New Years? Starts late?

It’s when you see them carrying around Dwarves and Hobbits that you know that the shit got real…..

Barely saw the photoshop. Had to scroll by way too fast to get it off my screen. 🙂

Don’t worry Stoatie, they rarely stay in the bedsheets after dark… they’ve usually gone out hunting by the time you go to bed.

Well—let’s talk about something more pleasant then. How did Uncle Badger’s garden grow, in your chilly chilly summer? The gardens where I am are all crispy-fried.

I’m with QuasiModo, Tired Beyond Belief of stewing in the sticky nasty 9-month summer of Da Swamp. I dream of a climate like yours, and would love some winter so I can sit by the fireplace (that I don’t have) and listen to sleet tick on the windows while I read P.D. James.

All spiders must be killed!
I’m so phobic, I have to take out the vacuum cleaner, long, suction hose to get one off the wall.
No kleenex and squeeze for me.

We missed our summer too.
People joke about the rain in Eugene, but we usually get three uninterupted months of perfect blue sky.

I don’t mind the little ones that create cob webs that you can barely see…it’s the military grade ones with camouflage and muscular lobster legs that freak me out.
My spider is a ‘black and yellow argiope’ and is non-lethal, apparently:

Make a ‘spider barn’ outside that’s warmer than your house.

Hate. Freakin’. Spiders.
Thanks for the heebie-jeebies, Stoaty!

Ahhhh, tegenaria! We call them September Spiders, since that’s when they tend to show themselves. I don’t give them much chance this year, with the Sisters on the prowl…

Forget spiders… flying lice? Now *that’s* scary.
