Me going green … and dragging my family with me, kicking and screaming!

Baby steps toward self sufficience and greenocity

What is it with spiders and clothes lines??? March 26, 2008

It is FINALLY warm enough to hang some clothes out today! 61 and sunny with a gentle breeze. Perfect! Until I saw the spiders.

Now, I’m typically a rational person, I KNOW these little pea sized arachnids can’t hurt me, but day-ummmn!!! I HATE SPIDERS! Can’t a girl have an irrational fear of bugs??? I killed one on my shirt in my dancing/swatting fit of terror, ran from another, and in an incredibly brave move, flung a clothes pin that was acting as spider perch half way across the yard to get rid of another. That was only while hanging the clothes. Imagine how many will have gathered when I go back out there in an hour or so to collect the clothes … I don’t even want to think about it.

I’m all itchy …
