Snowy Night In Carolina

We've been waiting all day for the scheduled snow and it is finally here. Gavin's school has already called to inform parents that school is canceled. I am just hoping the UPS man will still be able to deliver me a very special package tomorrow. But for now I will focus on how snowy nights are so beautiful.

Meet Mr. Legs

This was hanging out near my front door. I thought it was weird this "spider" didn't have the 2 different body parts like other spiders, the cephalothorax and abdomen. Because of the legs, I googled it up as a daddy long legs and found out that this thing isn't a true daddy long legs or a true spider for that matter. It is called a Harvestman, belonging to arachnids but the Dromopoda sub class and the Opiliones order. They only have one pair of eyes and are not venomous.

But if you ask me, if it has 8 legs then it's a freakin' spider! But that is probably why I'm not a scientist. It IS good to know they aren't poisonous though.

The School's Neighbor

Next door to my son's school lives this horse. I now realize that I really need to start bringing my camera with me wherever I go - you never know what you could run into! This photo was taken by cell phone. I really wanted to get a great zoomed in high quality photo. Maybe next time!

Full Moons and Spiderwebs

Trying out my new tripod outside. I love seeing the craters on the moon, but then it makes me ponder about huge asteroids hitting Earth.

Caught in the act of web spinning.

It's underbelly is kind of interesting. Take a closer look.

Yep, it's web is monstrous. It must go! I guess it got tired of that spot on the side of the garage. My front yard is a little bit too in my face though!
(The grass is being mowed soon! Leave me alone!)

"Please Stay Around"...

I told her, and she agreed (at least for now).
