SPIDER SEASON
August 2nd, 2009
Who says Los Angeles doesn’t have seasons?
In addition to four seasons (earthquake, mud, fire, flood), we also have spider season.
I love to see the huge, elaborate webs they spin at this time of year.
I hate where they spin them. There’s one every morning across the opening in the hedge which I must break to go out and get the paper. It doesn’t hurt the spider – there’s a new web in the same spot the following morning. (And consistently, year after year.) They love to build around our patio and the one above is just outside my office – happily, I could walk around that one.
The worst part is when you accidentally walk through one without seeing it and the whole thing ends up in your hair. Icky!
But … those webs are definitely works of art.
Charlotte lives!
