Itsy Bitsy Spider
Well not really itsy at all. Peanut found this little guy while we were rearranging some plants yesterday.

Normally I would have put him out of his misery, but with a toddler (that loves bugs) watching my every move I decided I would contain him so she could check him out. This is a typical wolf spider and they have a pretty nasty bite…and they get huge. He’s not even that big…really he’s kinda small. Peanut walked around with him in a container for about an hour and later I released him because he was a good sport and survived the container shaking and being yelled at. If you’ve seen Nemo then you know Darla…and Peanut is like that when she gets her hands on a bug.
Later on we ( hubby and I) found another on our porch waiting patiently to be let in. That’s what they do…they wait for you to open the door to let them in. I’m sorry to say but that one…didn’t make it. Sorry but I don’t want these guys in my house having coffee with me in the morning….their not pleasant house guests.
We also found some blooms in our garden. Most of which were picked by Peanut and put in her sand box garden.




Anybody know what this purple plant is?

Lastly no garden is complete without finding one of these. Peanut loves these.

I don't particularly like spiders, mostly because they squash easily! But Mike, for some odd reason, if he sees a spider will call me into the room to kill it! He says that he isn't afraid of them, but thinks I *like* to kill them! Really, I think he is afraid of spiders *L*!! Great flowers! Glad to hear that Peanut is doing better : )

If I found that thing while gardening, I would probably never garden again! Uck! Your plants look very pretty!
