The Hibbity-Jibbities

IMG_8412My bedroom when I was a child had two windows and in the fall (despite my horrible allergies to weeds, grass, pollen, mold, dust, you name it) I would keep my windows open as I fell asleep. I’d lie awake listening to the sounds of crickets and cicadas in the weeping willow tree. Below each window was a large evergreen bush. And usually attached from the evergreen bush to the screen on my window was a large spider web, home to many a garden spider.

These innocent, yet very large, spiders were just enough to keep a 14-year-old from sneaking out of the house through the window. To this day, I believe mom and dad chose that room for me because they knew I’d never escape if I had to go around a spider!

I have said many times how many similarities there are between my daughter and I. I know what she’s going to do, when she’s going to do it, and WHY she does it. There’s no pulling the wool over this mom’s face! (Poor girl.)

A few weeks ago, I took this picture of the garden spider and guess where he was. Right outside of my daughter’s bedroom window.

Life has a funny way about it, doesn’t it?

Until we walk again …
