Spiders and pie

October 17th, 2008 Leave a comment Go to comments

CrazyCatLadyMel posted a link to this little gem. For those who like Pushing Daisies and pie, someone came up with a recipe for apple pie with gruyere baked into the crust, kind of like the pie that Chuck bakes for her aunts, except without all the homeopathic antidepressants she added. I cannot promise I will use lard, but I must make this pie.

My good friend the garden spider has finally gone. In exchange, I get these jokers all over the yard. They’re about as long as my index finger, they’re everywhere, and for some reason, they like to make their webs at exactly Tvini-face-height. Why? WHY??

I should not have to don a fencing mask to hang out laundry.

I want my garden spider back.

ETA: Pics from the upcoming new Star Trek movie. I really hope this doesn’t blow, but let’s face it. Even if it the reviews are awful, I am THERE, baby!

    Once again, the Argiopes like your yard. Do not remember the exact species, or if it may be a juvenile gaden spider. If you like, I can check it out. When we lived on Sardis Rd., we had these EVERY WHERE at head height. Was realy annoying when they would build across the front doorway and I would leave early in the morning. I had to wonder what or who they were really trying to catch…

    Eh, not an argiope. That would have been you pretty garden spider friend. Perhaps it is a species of Barn Spider? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barn_spider “does this look like our spider?” If so, you should name her Charlotte.

    Oh My God. The spider is HUGE! It reminds me of a crab we used to have in our aquarium. Geez. And those are all over your yard? Joy.
