The Red Tartan Room

The Arachne Ranch...

I'm growing very unhappy with the house we're renting.  Which is natural, of course, when you're preparing to move.  At least, it is for me.

One thing I've noticed (or finally acknowledged) is that this house is infested with spiders.  They've run rampant since we moved in two years ago, but now I no longer have to be in denial about it. 

Last night I looked up to see no fewer than four of those yellowish house spiders skittering along the livingroom walls.  They hang in our narrow hall just at head height to, you know, maximize the fright factor.  A few days ago my husband told me that as he was finishing up in the bathroom he pulled the toilet paper and when the roll turned, there was a spider on the other side of it.  It actually reared up at him before he squished it.

Did I mention that we haven't seen a single spider in the new house?

Hmmm...
