Luke is still in the process of deciding what to be...Spider man, a Clone, Mickey Mouse, and many other ideas have popped into his head. He keeps going back to Spider man which brings me to the subject at hand. Spiders- my roommate in college Miss Tiff taught me the love for those eight legged creatures she would put them outside, not use tissue to squish them and flush them to a wet death. I have passed that onto my children. All went well until Luke read Peter Parker's story and now thinks that spiders have the ability to turn you into an actual spider with amazing powers. Hee hee. He is a huge fan. So now he examines them and decides if they are the 'right kind' whatever that means and I have had to tell them that they are helpful and kill the bad bugs and help us-----until this week we found -yep- a black widow. This is a 'bad' spider and so it was killed and put into a jar for the examination process. We have found out much and have decided it is Halloween and fun to have our dead black widow on the counter to celebrate. (Even to the distaste of Grandma Jean.) Bring on the spiders for the season and then they need to find a new home. "All creatures great and small God created them all."

Oh the webs of life-they are fun!!!!!
