Pitter Patter


It's been raining the better part of today. A soft drizzle. Soft enough to walk around it, leaving me clammy, but not soaked. The spiders seem to like it, they're all over the show. Saw a big one in a beautiful, circular web outside. Got a flashlight for a closer look, and jumped when the light threw a huge spider shadow on the wall behind it. What a spectacular spider, all black and orange, with a cross on its belly. Armoured up and ready to go to war. I hope that all these spiders are a sign of good luck. I know praying mantises are good luck. Or a premonition of death.
