Ahh, wildlife. I mean...AHHH! WILDLIFE!

Okay, so I'm sitting outside this morning eating my oatmeal and assorted fruit and out of the corner of my eye I see a something about the size of a quarter just hanging out on the side of the porch.  Upon closer inspection I found it to be a big ass spider.  If anyone can help me out with this...it was brown and had two little white dots on its butt.  I didn't want to see this monstrosity in the house so I got my husband with his lethal bug spray that he uses on wasp nests and stuff.  He sprayed the thing and it was dead in seconds.  It's still on my porch...a little more interesting now that it's not a threat.

Fine.  So just now I was sitting here and I heard a loud buzz near my head.  I turned and a hummingbird was hovering not 3 feet away from me.  We don't have any hummingbird feeders, but I have seen them drinking from our butterfly plant.  Hummingbirds are wicked cute and everything, but just something about them that
close freaks me out.

Where are the bunnies?  I like bunnies.  Why can we never see deer or something instead?
OH!  And the night I watched The Innocents, I was lying awake thinking about ghosts and I heard squeaking.  Another mouse!  Augh!  At least it took my mind off the ghosts.
