MaaMaa came upstairs one morning and found the Black Widow Spider that lived in the eves had landed in a white bowl. For two months the spider had artfully woven a tapestry to catch bugs. She captured termites and other small creatures that slipped into the old house at Sparklewood. Never once did she display aggressive behavior or try to bite me. The night before Papa and MaaMa decided it was time to capture the spider and take her out to the old garage. So what a surprise to see her! MaaMaa put out a knife as a life line and she crawled onto it. Gingerly the front door was opened and the spider let loose. We hope she is safe somewhere far away because Black Widow Spiders are considered poisonous. Now the web is gone and so is the spider. Purrs, Tankene Ice Mist
