Subject: Laura, you think the tick was bad? Read this!! (m)

I was weeding the front garden today. Just pulling all the old growth and weeds out getting it ready for some plants next week. I reached for a clump of weeds against the house and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a big black spider run up my glove! I quickly rubbed it off my glove before it could climb up my arm. I wounded it so it couldn't get away. It was a nice fat Black Widow spider!!!!!!!! Shudder...... Oh, man do I hate those spiders! And they move fast too.

I squished it and finished off a bit more weeding but I am not doing the very end where there are some higher plants. I almost ran screaming from the yard but the kids were playing and I didn't want them to freak out. LOL! I did have a good case of the heebie jeebies though.

I'm almost ready to nuke the yard with some nasty chemical to kill all the bugs but I just can't bring myself to do it cause I'm afraid it would harm the cats or kids.
