I know - 3 posts in one day. Clearly, I have things on my mind or I am trying to avoid.
But, I can't resist. After the spider incident last week when I almost walked into a web, I decided to change the route I take with Elston. I avoided the last street we take as we head back to the apartment. I realized this morning that was a crazy approach to things. Why was I letting some little fear get in the way of a nice street that is lined with flowers and nice houses? Really!
On our morning walk, I was very aware of any webs crossing over the sidewalk. I stopped a few times and actually admired some of the webs that were close to the sidewalk and had an enemy smack dab in the middle. I noticed the size of one of them compared to all of the others I have seen. Still...there was no panic or shrieking.
This evening, I decided we would walk down the same street. Same enemies were still working on their damn webs. The large one was especially busy as I watched it nearly fall and dangle from its web as it wove some special fancy design. Show off.
But, I took special notice of the webs that were high up in the trees. Really high up. I didn't mind because I would rather have them up there out of sight.
It wasn't until the end of our walk that I looked up one more time at a web with an enemy in the middle. I then looked across the intersection. Yep, it is a look-out. It has a perfect view into my apartment. Here I thought it was a nice gesture on their part to move away from my height and then I find out they are actually spying on me. Uh huh. I have their number. I should take my camera with me tomorrow just to prove it to everyone. I bet if I zoom in enough, you will be able to see their binoculars.

Emily,
I don't think you will ever visit my house. The entry way to our house is actually a deck that is a few steps up from the driveway and wraps around the side of the garage. It is about 20 feet long, somewhat narrow, and most importantly, is chock full of spider webs. When I walk out of the door in the a.m. I walk through spider webs that have been spun from the garage wall to the deck railing. There are spiders in the upper corners of the door, too.
So...I think of you and think of how much you'd just LOVE to visit some day. :-)

Ah, "they" caught you with your guard down and almost had you convinced that they're just spinning away, minding their own business when all the while they're weaving the ultimate spy post.
Oh, they're clever. Very clever, indeed.
