During the fall they are giant and disappear for the most part in winter, thank goodness! But old house + country = lots of spiders. We've hired an exterminator four times a year, so hopefully that will take care of most......Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480939903983271555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468797593205787526.post-685059164262117892009-12-02T21:31:17.941+11:002009-12-02T21:31:17.941+11:00the spider stories do make me cringe a little...fo...the spider stories do make me cringe a little...fortunately I do not have any spider stories to tell :0 <br />Plenty of good stuff there too - the baby quince does look like a softie, the tree looks splendid, I would love to picnic under it's shade. with a little quince jelly no less. mmm.Bird Bathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918396655766734244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468797593205787526.post-44007353917217198482009-12-02T00:07:37.221+11:002009-12-02T00:07:37.221+11:00Oh Beck!

I too had a horrific 'spider incident' in a car once... consequently my car is no longer with me, and there is a tree on Doveton Street that still has parts of the red duco on its trunk. Those huntsmen are so very scary. Oh and as a kid once I put my foot in a gum boot with a wolf spider nestled in the bottom of it... Do you know those ones? It was a rather large female- carrying all of her little spider sprogs on her back!!! Oh I still cringe thinking about it.<br />Before my spider rant, I really just wnated to say that it was so lovely to see you and your gorgeous stall at the market. Hope to see you again soon!<br /><br />P.S I love your darling little rabbits!Bluebellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17003449724791125832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468797593205787526.post-14004348514417072012009-12-01T23:57:22.894+11:002009-12-01T23:57:22.894+11:00I had to run away, screaming, from this post.

Now as for spiders we get those nasty white tail spiders too who happen to love crawling around the house just as everyone has gone to bed. One night I happened (thankfully) to turn on the wardrobe light before going to the ensuite toilet and there on the floor was the biggest white tail I had ever seen. No doubt Paul was woken up to kill it and I was thankful I hadnt stepped on it. By the way white tail spiders eat earwigs so if you get earwigs which we have in abundance this year as my sis the gardener said there is a plague this year so more white tails too, ugh! I dont like the fact that the huntsmen bit you either, I always used to put them out in the garden in a jar. There is a new type of spider that apparently looks like a huntsmen too and is very poisonous, where you lose all your skin around the bite and it turns black (I saw pics and they are disgusting). Very scary, so shake all those clothes and bedding! Now onto the kettle, yes I think I need a cuppa too, maybe cream of chicken soup will suffice!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893692345113831018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468797593205787526.post-42332239683300909202009-12-01T12:23:23.848+11:002009-12-01T12:23:23.848+11:00I'm currently sporting a nice little hole on m...I'm currently sporting a nice little hole on my wrist, courtesy of unseen spider. Thought it wasn't too bad but I keep knocking the top off, and it's taking a long time to heal. I asked my neighbour, the GP, and she told me 'keep an eye on it...a friend once had a reaction to a spider bite that ended up as Guilliane-Barre Syndrome.'<br /><br />Not to worry then...<br /><br />That baby quince is adorable - looks knitted and placed there by the hand of a crafty fairy.

Our chooks are braving the cold and rain here.<br />Spiders, hmmmm... little miss ringlet adores them to no end. She grabs them bare handed and gives them shelter in the cottage. There has been more than one occasion that she has put them in my hair. It's a good thing we don't have many poisonous ones about. Earwigs on the other hand...eeek!Lola Novahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14215529779296867987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468797593205787526.post-12235481165182201702009-12-01T11:56:01.589+11:002009-12-01T11:56:01.589+11:00It's the perfect day for doing all those thing...It's the perfect day for doing all those things! Your garlic looks good. We've just pulled ours out, too & vegie gardens have thrived over the last week - very exciting isn't it...as for spiders...my baby climbed into bed next to me on Sunday morning & as he snuggled in for a cuddle screamed "Spider!!!" and there beside me was a wopping white tail! Thank goodness for the little early riser!mel @ loved handmadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11089482748571082995noreply@blogger.com
