I'm outside, hose in hand, watering my mulberry trees. Then I get that feeling...
You know the one, the one that feels like something is crawling up your leg.
Well, most of the time that's our imagination, right? The wind just moved my pant leg...ignore it.
Nope...something is crawling up my leg, about to disappear under my capri length slacks (without proper identification prior to that...let's not go there..)
Gather courage to do battle with the audacious intruder...
slowly look down...????
THERE IT IS! Instead of some horrid 8 legged monster (sorry, Tom) or an arched tail 4 incher armed and ready to sting, this cute, adorable, perfect, beautiful 2 incher is making his way north on me!
He was happy to get on my hand, then on the wood to pose for pix. Then back on my hand to go back to the mulberry tree. ?
How marvelous it is that such an encounter can so lift one's spirits!
