…quick random thoughts about two spiders and a lady bug while waiting for the snow…and my pizza to cook.....
…unbeknownst to my family, we have two pet spiders crawling freely in our home, spinning webs and eating insects. Their home is located on the ceiling corner of my living room, easily seen when lying on the couch. They keep me company during my morning routine (email, facebook, Daily Freeman, coffee), and while everyone is still sleeping, they are active with their own morning routine (crawling freely, spinning webs, eating insects)…. When I disclosed all of this to my son this morning on our drive to school, he said, “Mom, I’m not so sure about that.” ……each time my mother visits, I worry that she will spot this cob web and swat at it with a broom. Believe me, the fact that I leave a cob web on a wall doesn’t mean I am lazy or dirty, mom..….we are clean folks, even vacuum under the cushions… at least we don’t have dog hair or feline fur stuck to our clothes or couches, nor do we have stinky pellets scattered in a path from smelly cat litter to the front door…it just relaxes me to watch these spiders crawling around….more so than watching Herman swimming around….
Now onto the lady bug…. Earlier today, I needed to run across campus to give something to a colleague…On my way, I spotted a lady bug…..it was crawling around on the top stair. While its redness had faded, its vitality certainly hadn’t! I scooped it up and brought with me to my co-worker. He wasn’t there, but I notified his co-workers and was told that the good luck offered by lady bugs certainly would be welcomed. I left the packet with the lady bug on his desk……to be continued….OR if you enjoy reading about bugs, remember my blog entry on beetles???
