Banana Spider

We are not talking about banana spiders today though...

today we are talking about hose bibs and good friends and hobos and daddy long legs.

Fun Spider Fact: Contrary to popular belief Daddy Long Leg Spiders are not actually terribly poisonous, and they can still bite you. Apparently, they just don't care too. (link)

Fun Spider Fact #2: Daddy Long Legs prey on spiders that actually are dangerous to humans... Red Back, Hobo, and Huntsman for example... 

Not so fun spider fact:

Our crawl space is crawling with hobo and wolf spiders....

This weekend both Cori and our friend Dan spent time with them while fixing our hose bibs.

Fun Kari Fact:

I liked it better when I didn't know what was living under my house.

Question:

Where do I buy Daddy Long Leg's in bulk?

For my Fred:

(the auto post didn't work yesterday... sorry)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRED! 18... old woman. :) 

I love you.

Please remember her....

Look at this beautiful girl. Look at those eyes... that is their natural color... I think they call that corn flower.

Her soft golden hair and her sweet face.

She is smart and feisty and funny and even though you might not realize it, she notices you.

If she is talking to you, she is not thinking about herself, she is thinking about you.

So when you see her next to her wild haired sister, please remember her.

Remember as you comment on how awesome that beautiful afro is, that there is another little girl standing there with out honey blonde fire shooting from her head...

and that she is beautiful too. 

Please tell her. 

So that she knows she is not invisible.

Tell her so that she knows you notice her, the way she notices you.

Tell her so that my girls can grow up knowing that even though they look so different, they are both beautiful.

Because Havah feels just fine about her hair. 

She doesn't need anyone to tell her it's "better than straight hair". 

And every time someone does, it just breaks my sweet Lilly's heart a little bit more.
