WARNING! WARNING! Kidlet beware!!

sorry for the screaming header but Kidlet is not a happy camper on the topic of eight legged beasties and this morning's walk seemed to have a theme in keeping with the season.   SPIDERS!

to set the record straight, I am not a fan either.  At least I am not as squeamish as I was as a kid, but they still give me the creeps.  The only difference being that at least now I can appreciate their artistic endeavors.  Kidlet still despises them with an unbridled passion.  She seems to have the same radar that I had growing up.  If it's in the room, we'll find it.  Now is the time to stop reading, Kidlet!

Joanie and I are always walking into spider webs since our trek wanders the bike paths of a nearby neighborhood.  It seems we walk before the riders ride.  The other day, I was flapping my gums and collected one right in the mouth.  Geez.  Not nice, Mother Nature. 

First thing this morning, Joanie spotted this little dude:

good grief!

but then we found this delightful little woven blanket.  Just in time for the temperature drop:

now you have to admit, that's some nice stitchery.

And then there was this beauty.  Great design work and each of her strings are two toned.  Very cool:

since I was having trouble getting a shot with my iPhone and fighting the sun, Joanie suggested I try from behind.  Fat chance!  I am not wandering off the path in case she belongs to some kind of knitting club and they were having a bee.  Can you imagine that in the face?!!?!?!?

shudder!!!!

on the upside we finally hit the 5.0 mile walk.  YAY!  We rock!!!!
