The Day Started So Beautifully...

I got up the other morning to a sky full of soft sunshine and a freshly brewed pot of coffee. Ahhhhhhhh. Bliss. I stood at the backdoor, sipping my coffee, asking myself why is it that I never drink coffee sitting out back, especially on such a lovely day. And then I saw why. The sunlight glinted off something shiny over by the outdoor clock. I looked closer. Here's what it was: Yeah. A big, honkin' spiderweb. Eeewwww. This is the part of the story where I realized I have been blogging way too long. Instead of the usual SCREAM OF PANIC I normally would have given, I promptly went in search of my camera so I could share this vision with all of you. I got as close as I could....that is to say about 6 to 8 feet from it... and then zoomed the camera as much as it'd go. How's this for a giant YUCK, EEECK!, GROSS, SAVE ME, HELP, SEND IN THE ARTILLERY sort of creature?
I'm here to tell you, if Little Miss Muffet has been sitting on her Tuffet and this thing had sat down beside her?..Little Miss Muffet would have either dropped dead from a heart attack or passed out and drowned in her curds and why. And who could blame her. As for the creature? Let's just say he suffered a none-too-soon demise from a biological weapon I like to call Bengal Bug Spray.
