The Dangers of Working in the Yard

I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and get some stuff done in the yard. As I was digging in the dirt I looked down and saw a HUGE spider on my wrist.

I don't care for spiders. Especially ones in my personal space.

So of course I panicked and immediately tried to whack it off my wrist with my other hand. This would have been a great tactic had I not been holding a small SHOVEL in that hand! Oh, I got the spider but I also got a big old bruise.

Just one more reason to dread my yard... Since we have moved here I have seen so many gigantic spiders and I am terrified of them!

I pulled out a bunch of weeds last week while Damon cleaned up the graveyard. There were so many spiders! And I was feeling them crawl all over me for the rest of the night. Ick!!

If it makes you feel better, I swear I killed a small tarantula this morning in our house and almost made Jackson cry as I was screaming trying to kill it.
