See this spider.
The writing spider....*do note, if this is not a Writing Spider found in the piedmont of NC by no means should you take it upon yourself to inform said photographer of otherwise. kapeesh?
This spider came one sunny July day to my back deck. It lived among the shrubs. Most of you know I have a 7&8 year old boys. Spiders are neat. To the mom...ehhh...sorta scary. Until this year.
I have come to love this spider. My boys basically hand fed the little guy or...big guy..ha...beattles and small bugs. He put on a show, would wrap them tight and suck the blood out in front of the brothers as if we purchased him from the pet store. He moved his web the other day. Right above the overhang on the door, close to the back porch light. I nearly ran face first into the big guy...not to be confused as little guy when one meets him face to face at dawn. Lovely. So, I took a stick and carefully moved him to the woods. My little boy found him the other day at another door entrance that is never used and I was glad to see him return.
It was the summer their mama didn't squash the spider...
and the year the spider taught her a whole lot about life and letting go of fears.
Last weeks post and I'll be caught up on the posting of 52 week project! :)
