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!)

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)

Thankful Thursday hosted

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.

Mission BBQ  just opened.  And it is close to home.

We haven't been yet.  

However, when I took these photos they were smoking BBQ in this big smoker in the back of the truck.  There appeared to be a staff training and lunch starting too.

THEIR STORY MAKES ME SO HAPPY 

Our Story

MISSION BBQ opened its doors for business on September 11, 2011.

Ten years after our world changed forever, in some small way we wanted to change

 it back.

As the founders of MISSION BBQ, we strive every day to remind everyone what

 makes Our Country great—its heroes.

Who are we? Two friends passionate about BBQ, patriotic for Our Country,

 and who believe in running a business with meaning and purpose.

We believe there is nothing more American than BBQ. And nobody more American 

than the brave men and women who have sworn to protect and serve Our 

Communities and Our Country. We do what we do for the love of our soldiers, 

firefighters, police officers, first responders—all our loved ones in service.

We set across this great land from Texas to Kansas City, the Carolinas to 

St. Louis…to discover the secrets of great BBQ.

Every day we strive to serve you authentic BBQ made from the freshest, 

most delectable ingredients, and serve it to you in a patriotic dining room 

filled with tributes to those who’ve made Our Country great, given to us by t

he people who earned them. Stop by at lunchtime, and you might catch 

us during our daily salute to the Stars and Stripes.

We don’t do any of this because we have to. It’s because we want to.

At MISSION BBQ, we are Proudly Serving Those Who Serve. 

Come help us complete Our Mission.
