Spider (by Rob)

Have you ever seen Mary freaked out? Friday night, Mary was beyond freaked out when she caught a glimpse of a spider on the way out to the hot tub. After getting a flashlight, she found this spider (almost actual size):



Immediately, Mary googled "spiders" to try and identify it. She saw some spiders online that are even more scary and big than ours, which freaked her out more.

She found a website where you post a spider pic and they identify it for you. Ours is a Barn Orbweaver. Nocturnal, harmless, (supposedly) eats their own web every morning, and is the type of spider Charlotte of Charlotte's Web is based upon.

EPILOGUE: Saturday night, I killed the spider after smushing it a few times. Mary still hasn't gotten rid of her heebie-gebbies. She tiptoes to the hot tub looking around for anything moving. Fortunately, no spider since. And hopefully, no eggs.
