Charlotte's Web

**Edwina's Secretary** · 06-13-2008, 11:39 PM

Every night, I scoop the litter boxes and take the waste outside to the trash. Just the other side of the trash can lives Charlotte. I wish her a good night (I have never seen her during the day...and I have looked for her!)

Tonight I asked my husband to hold a ruler next to her so you can appreciate her grandeur and beauty! (in both inches and metric!)

Charlotte!

Oh wow! That's an interesting spider. Do you have any idea what it is?
I was just looking at a large (although not even close to this size) spider at work today and a co-workers 7 year old daughter was telling me about a HUGE spider she saw at school yesterday. We jumped on the internet trying to find the spider she saw. We couldn't find it.

And while this doesn't bother me at all, you might want to put a creepy crawly warning in the title. Just a suggestion.

She is beautiful, looks like the orb weaver spiders that I often see later in the summer.

I just actually watched the original animated Charlotte's Web movie the other night. We could learn a lot about appreciating beauty and life in all forms from that story.

Not really related, (and perhaps a bit sappy), but my favorite song from the movie, and what I think of whenever I see a beautiful shimmering orb weaver web http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKvuj9lAfCc&

Are you sure she isn't a cat-eater?
(You know that my irrational old self rather thinks she's a man-eater

Barbara I am right with you on that! I am not a fan of spiders at all, God's creatures or not. I would either have to stop taking the litter to the trash or come at Charlotte with a big old can of bug spray.
