Look what Sarah found lurking in a corner of our dining room.
This little guy is big enough to give you the willies!! Here he is just going for a stroll in the living room.
Believe it or not, here Sarah is trying her best to " ANTAGONIZE" our little friend with a short screwdriver.
Ahhh. Mission accomplished! Here he is starting to take his aggressive/defensive stance.
There he his. In full defensive posture. We both thought that he was getting ready to jump at Sarah. No, he didn't. He just posed for the camera. He was being very co-operative.
Oh Oh. I think he sees me. Time to change locations.
There, that's much better.
Just to give you an idea of the size of this little fellow. That is the lid of a quart mason jar on the floor beside him.
Life on the farm in Missouri can be quite interesting and eventful. Besides the usual farm stuff, we also get to experience some of the wonders that our Lord has put right in our back yard, or in this case, our living room. The tarantula. Some of the other things that have captured my attention to God’s immeasurable power are the beauty of the stars in the vast night sky, the flickering of these fascinating little creatures – lightning bugs – which dot the night time landscape with their little beacons. Coyotes howling in the night, snow in the winter, our dry creek bed turning into a rushing river as it fills in a matter of days from the spring down pours. Even the solitary road runner that brings a smile to my face at the clownish look of his appearance. We serve an awesome creator and it is a thrill to see his creation declare his glory no matter where one lives. (yes, even in Florida) 😀
Aunt Molly, Sarah said I could have it, so I put her in a box and fed her:) Her name was Georgia ( Don’t ask why). Unfortunately, I had to get rid of her a few days after I got it.:( Oh well…..
Grandmama, I’m looking forward to your blog post…:):)
Love,
Markie
Wow! He certainly was quite the creature!! What did you do with it?
Mercy! It’s one thing to catch one on the road, but to meet up with one in the HOUSE!!?? Very interesting, alright! Now, you have challenged me, Eddie, to get another blog post up! Thanks for a look at your very ugly “little friend”!
