Arts Arachnophobia
There is one downside to the first sunny day after many months of rainy, dark, winter weather—seeing your house in the strong light and realizing you are living in a spider refuge. I strongly believe that spiders are our friends—but I still don’t need to live in a Munster house. So instead of spending a lovely sunny day outside, I spent it attempting to regain the upper hand against the arachnids.


Aren't there like, more spiders in the PNW than anyplace in the world or something?
All's I know is that I am constantly batting at dark corners in my old house in the springtime here. It drives me nuts. Some of these spiders are so big that you can actually hear them hit the ground when they leap from tall spaces.
