... Writing Spiders....

We always called them writing spiders because it looks like they write on their webs. I remember my grandaddy telling me about the old wives tale he grew up with. The old folks always believed that it was a bad omen if they ever wrote your name in their web... Your time upon earth was short and your days were numbered... Of course, they can't spell ~ but they are so creepy you have to tiptoe by them anyway...

Late summer into early fall always brings these little creatures out. I hate to think of them quietly watching me from the bushes as I go down my sidewalk but I'm sure they do (note the paranoia)... I like it now that they are out in the open and above board so I can see them first!! They are very scary looking but harmless~ except for the induced heart attack I would surely have if one ever got on me!!

Despite their looks...I am always excited to see them. They even decorate the house and bushes for me around Halloween...I really appreciate that!

Take Care,
