a tiny, blonde-ish spider has built a web under & along the side of one of the small knicknacks in my bathroom. i don't have the heart to kill it, or the energy to save it. so each time i wash my hands, i carefully avoid knocking into it, and watch it sit there with it's tiny spider optimism that a fly small enough to get caught in it's very, very tiny web will one day materialize in my bathroom, make its way toward the sink, and sure enough, bumble its way into death. i am cheering for the spider, really. but not very optimistic about it's chances. maybe i will get kyra to set it free, perhaps delicately placing the knicknack outside on the porch rail. i will miss it.

You are the most nature oriented person I know... and I believe you that you will miss it. I think God encouraged it to sit there just to help you remember you are noticed. Sort of like seeing a moose, only on a much smaller scale. smile
I watched, for a while, a big black spider that was living in an orchid in my kitchen. It was all fun and games until he disappeared one day and I began living in fear he was in bed...
Earlier this year, I had a black widow set up shop at the foot of my porch. She was really kinda eerie and lived up to her name, but I didn't want to kill her, and I didn't know how to save her. So I fed her the Japanese beetles that were eating my rose bush! She's now gone, but you should have seen her run out to meet her prey... she meant business!
