Confession: I hate spiders. OK, so that's not really a confession. But I shouldn't say I hate them, I hate that I'm afraid of them. They are the ultimate creepy crawly to me and I hate that something 1/1000th the size of me scares me so much. The other night Jake and I went out (I forget what we went out for) and on the way up the steps to our house is our mailbox. I opened the mailbox, got the mail and closed the door. All of a sudden, a blackish shadow moved up the mailbox right where my hand was. A spider. A BIG spider. I literally screamed like a little girl and ran up the steps to the front door. I immediately felt like a fool. And yes, I know you're probably laughing at me right now.
Now back to this morning. I looked out the window that our front door has to see what kind of weather was happening this morning. I saw fog and freshly-rained-on street. In one corner of our porch, this is what I was met with as well:
A beautiful spider web, wet with rain and dew
And may I present, the artiste:
A common garden spider. This was the culprit who scared me from my mailbox. After seeing this artwork/house for him/her, I couldn't be upset with it.
