The Itsy Bitsy Spider....At Our Backdoor

Oh.... the things that entertain us.

Me and Madie have found something to look forward to and keep us entertained. Every night for the past few weeks at 7pm a little (I say little, she's pretty big) spider comes out at our back door at the living room and works diligently and builds a web. She stays there all night and spends the morning hanging out until around 9am. Like clock work, she arrives and departs. Of course, we call her Charlotte and Madie enjoys taking all of her toys to the door to "show" Charlotte. I'm just waiting on a note for us to be written in her web when we get up one morning.

It's a very interesting thing to watch. I think if she didn't show up I might miss her. But believe me....it's all well and good that we watch and observe our "pet" little spider through the glass at the back door. But make no mistake, if she decided that she wanted to come in the house I would step on her without hesitation. So it would be a good idea if she continued to enjoy where she is spending the night.

After Madie's bath around 7pm, we looked to see if Charlotte was out. She was beginning to make her web for the night. I went out on the back porch and took some pictures of Madie and Charlotte. There really is glass between the ugly spider and my baby.
