well….here we are.  I think Verizon has erected another tower.  This is posted from This Table,  in This Travel Trailer.  If it's true,  and if it holds,   things will be Glorious.

She was under the tarp over the bales of feed when we drew it back.  Still.  Waiting.  Still.  We exchanged  loooong gazes.  

I'm pretty sure she is a Huntsman Spider.  Who carries her egg cases.  Who protects her young once they are born from those cases.  The size of a large penny.  Here,  in the stance to indicate readiness to defend herself if necessary.  It was not necessary.  We regarded each other and went on along with the work of the day.

    I don’t kill spiders but ones like that would scare me. She is formidable… size of a penny isn’t so big. Hope you had a good mothers day..

    her “body”, size of a penny, that with her head tucked back, pulled in, her legs too
    the mother’s day was quiet and smooth, a fig tree arrived, we talked and walked. Three mothers, one girl child. It’s days later and i am still “re-running”. How can it be?
