I know, I know…! I don’t really live in the wild.
After all, we have electricity, running water, internet, and a whole community of friends surrounding us.
But the fact remains that ours is a rural community, which means there are critters EVERYWHERE. And, having grown up in the very civilized environs of the San Francisco Bay Area, this remains an ongoing challenge for me.
I’m actually pretty accustomed to seeing deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, hares, foxes, and even bears in the vicinity. What I can’t seem to get used to is when the critters are inside my home.
For example, we get frogs and lizards inside our house. All. The. Time. And they are really hard to catch.
I mean, really! A lizard in the bedroom?!? That’s just wrong!
But what inspired this rant is when I went to put a new stick of incense in the holder in the bathroom and discovered…this!
I mean — eww! My best guess is that it was a spider eating another spider. All well and good, but Not. In. My. House.
(And, no, I didn’t flush it or kill it, I managed to take it outside.)
