** The Jungle **

I have a new pet at my house. Well, pet is not really the right word. She's kind of adopted our house as her own. I've named her Susan, and she is the most beautiful creature i've seen in a long time. Well, that's not true either. Cindy, the checkout girl at the local grocery store is, but Susan's #2.

It's a veritable jungle at my house. We have so many spiders it is impossible to reach the front door without meeting a new one. This is where Susan has decided to set up shop and hunt. Did i mention she's gorgeous? The images below will give you an idea of how big she is. The little red dots are where she's anchored her web, and there is also an anchor line that goes from the web all the way to the ground. She is an architect to rival Frank Lloyd Wright. I watched her tonight. She didn't mind. She just hung there letting out line until it wafted across the driveway, hooking onto the other side of the house (anchor point 2). Patiently waiting and waiting. Everynow and then she'd look down at me as if to say, "If you're just going to stand there, could ya grab a hold of the other end of this?" She's so funny.

Anchor point 1 is on the right hand side of this photo, looking toward the front door. Anchor point 2 is on the left, near the end of the photo.
