oi, sometimes i hate it! was doing some much needed weeding today in the flower beds (hopefully the last weeding of the year)and where the beds are situated is just a hangout for mean looking spiders! and i think i encountered a *gulp* black widow.... *shivers*
i know spiders are a vital part of nature and i feel bad killing them... but after seeing them everywhere where i'm weeding, i get the heebie jeebies. then i'm all jumpy and scared to put my hands anywhere that is dark and i can't see.
plus, a moth decided to fly up my pant leg, which REALLY got me jumping around (luckily, it was just a moth and not a spider... i don't mind moths).
oi!

Can you imagine what them poor little spiders are saying? OMG, here comes that monster women again, chopping up our homes, squashing our children, destroying our food storage and for what, cause she thinks we are hurting her?? I whish she would put herself in our shoes for once, she wants all the bugs gone, but complains that we are here doing what she wished for!! Be careful what you wish for, lol. I do hope you get a laugh outa this.

I don't mind spiders so much. In fact, it's about time for those great big and beautiful golden garden spiders. But I'm really, really tired of deer ticks now! They were bad here in spring and now they're out again for fall. :(
