Sensational Symmetry Saturday from Georgia Clan


 Be advised: If spiders creep you out, PROCEED WITH CAUTION! 😉

Last night I heard a commotion in the kitchen. What I discovered was quite shocking! The cats were huddled around one of largest spiders I’ve ever seen! 🙀

I don’t like to kill anything, so I quickly grabbed the lid to a Pyrex bowl & covered the spider. 
I wrangled the cats into the bedroom, & D was able to safely transfer the humongous, uninvited visitor outside.

May I present to you Dolomedes tenebrosus, known as the dark fishing spider, found in the United States and Canada.
They are found in wooded areas and dwell on trees. It will commonly enter homes in wooded locations.
Apparently, our Vacancy light was on outside! 😹

I must admit, I immediately recognized the beautiful symmetry of “Spidey” & started snapping pictures. 
I’m certain “Spidey” was relieved to be rescued from the cats that wanted to “play” with their new friend. 😉

I used the flash on camera so what appears to be extra legs are actually shadows. 


To get a proper perspective, this is a picture of dolomedes tenebrosus on someone’s hand! ( NOT MY HAND!)

Nature and Feline Friday

 Nature Friday host LLB Gang  


HOSTESSES Rosy and Sunny...just an itty bitty heads up
BUNNY ALERT
Nieces Rosy and Sunny
Do the bunnies in your yard blend in with their surroundings like this  Peter cotton tail bunny.
OMDs he was quite comfy with his camouflage or perhaps just 
cray-cray.  He let me get within just a foot or so to snap
and he actually posed.   I told him all about my nieces in New Mexico who were expert bunny wranglers...he was not impressed.
He was so embarrassed to hear this he wiggled his years in disbelief.

  MADI AND MOM have a discussion

Mom: Madi.....Madi I'm talking to you.  I know you are awake
I see your ear moving.

 Madi:  Well I'm awake now...
Mom:  Why is my spread wrinkled?
Madi: I was trying to get under the spread.
Mom: Why aren't you sleeping on the 'special floral' mat I made for you?
Madi:Oh you mean the one you want me to sleep on to keep my lovely furs off the spread?
Mom: Yes that one.
Madi:  I repeat I was trying to get under the spread.
Mom: It is too hot to be under the spread. 
Madi: I KNOW but remember you don't want my furs on the spread.
 
 Madi:  AND....I don't like that mat you made and besides....
 ....you are letting my stuffed bunny clone, Spring, sleep on the
spread, and if she can sit on it so can I!!
Mom:  Madi sometimes you can be a very, very opinionated feline.
Madi: YAWNING!! Opinionated and feline are one in the same...
THE END
(PS never debate with a feline)

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday #265


 Today we join

Angel Sammy and brudder Teddy
at Sammy's Poetry Corner




SHE DREAMED OF A HOUSEBOAT
SAILING THE WATERS OF THE BAYOU
TO AND FRO SHE WOULD FLOAT
DOCKING AT EXOTIC PLACES
MEETING NEW PEOPLE
MUCH TO HER DISMAY THIS BOAT
COULD NOT EVEN FLOAT TO THE 
MOAT


Thankful for a very good electrician who came last week to repair
the 2 small 'mushroom' lights along our drive way and sidewalk. 
For many years, they have been leaning and barely visible. 
They are on the same switch as the lantern.
 So many repairmen are not willing to come out for small jobs.  This was a small job with a very big improvement
Our driveway is steep.  Nice to have it well lit after dark.
