Last night, beckyb told me that even if I posted about the spiders on my window ledge, she'd enjoy it and that I should. That made me happy.

Today it was 97 degrees in Seattle. And even though it's 74 outside right now, inside my house its probably still above 90. Windows are open. Fans are running, and we'll see what happens by morning.

But the point is, I have two options. I can sit on my porch where a new flock of mosquitoes are eying my sweaty legs, or I can sit inside and drip with sweat. Neither one of those options lets me focus very well. So I'm going to give you and me a rain check.

i will say that a new, very black, very round spider has taken up residence in my home. She keeps to the corners above the front door and seems to vacation in the spaces between the window blinds. Today, she crawled on my hand as I started to open the door and I had to let her slide her silk down to the floor while kicking both cats away with my feet. I am the Shaolin Spider Saviour.

I'll be back soon. I'm feeling the energy move again after a long time it seems. And thanks to miss B for the encouragement.
