So this morning, I was weeding in the garden. I pulled out some weeds and saw a huge creepy spider. I immediately asked Rob to come take a look. He said, "That looks like a mouse spider. You should kill it. They're really poisonous!" I picked up a nearby rock and flattened the spider, three times. Later when I stopped by to check that it was actually dead, I found a horde of ants eating it.
Our cherry tree has blossoms. We might get two handfuls of cherries this year.
Yesterday we planted bare-root strawberries. They are already growing.
We bought and planted some flowers yesterday. Pretty.
Our tulips are blooming.
These purple flowers are blooming. I don't know what they are called :)
And the kitty got to be outside. She loved it.
ETA: By the way, according to our Google search, it actually was a mouse spider, and they are actually poisonous!!
Love the pictures, especiall the happy cat pic. I strongly dislike spiders, but I'm glad the ants could make some use of it.

DeleteBeautiful flowers, beautiful kitty cat but, EW, those spider-eating ants!!!
ReplyDeleteI know. The ants are gross, although I am glad they are removing all traces of that creepy spider from my yard.
