Just after school today, Lindsey was about to leave to go to her physical therapy appointment, when she pointed out a big tarantula on the outside of our living room window. CREEPY! Here's a closer shot of the spider. I took the ruler to measure it and it's about 3.5 inches long, less than half the size of the nasty giant red-headed centipede that I encountered INSIDE the house last summer.
Living next to the woods, we get all kinds of wildlife, so these creepy crawly things come with the territory, literally. Time to call for pest control! Sorry about the unpleasant image--I'll be sure to post something different soon. I just wanted Kelly to see what he's missing. Why do I get these uninvited guests when he's out of town? He's in California until Thursday.

P.S. Yes, please add my link to your blog....and may I do the same? Texas was home for us for quite a while so I'm reliving it through you :)
When we lived in Texas, one afternoon I got a water pitcher out of the cupboard to make some juice. When I went to dump the juice in it I saw that there was a very large scorpian in the bottom of the pitcher! I screamed, then quickly dumped it into the sink, turned on the water and washed it down the drain, and then flipped on the garbage disposal. I can still hear the crunching sound it made! I know, animal cruelty, but it just completely freaked me out!
Ya gotta love Texas!!
