No, not a pet, or a homeschool science project. I just looked down and there was a tarantula in my kitchen! And no I did not take time to snap a photo! Just when I thought I had seen everything out here in the country and conquered so many fears this happens! How will I sleep at night now? So let's see - we have coyotes, skunks, snakes - venomous and non, opossum, huge wolf spiders, fleas, ticks, chiggers, black flies, fruit gnats, other gnats, hordes of grasshoppers, fire ants, mice, dirt daubers, wasps, praying mantis', stink bugs, wild hogs, hawks, black bears, vultures, giant mosquitoes, brown recluse spiders, snapping turtles, armadillos that carry leprosy, black widow spiders, and so many other creepy and down right dangerous creatures to "watch out" for I can't name them all, nor do I even know of them all! Or want to!
So Ricky happened to be home and I, of course, let him have the honor of dealing with the tarantula. Then he tells me he saw a huge one out in the garden one day all covered in white - and thought "what an odd looking white tarantula". Then he poked it with a stick and millions of the tiny white "babies" scurried off of the "mother tarantula"! OooUuuuuggghh..... And you know what they say - if you see one there are MaNy that you don't see. Think we'll be doing "take-out" meals for the next, say..forever - oh, but wait, we're out in the boonies and there is no where to get "take-out"! Gotta love the country life.(?)
