The tarantula dance

We've been hyper-vigilant of our surroundings ever since seeing the scorpion and rattlesnake while our NY buds were here visiting.

We went for a walk yesterday afternoon here in our little slice of desert. As were were walking down the ATV trail that serves as our driveway, I spotted a tarantula, our first live spotting.


A: Stop

R: What?! What?! What?! begins dancing about, turning this way and that, ready to run but not knowing which direction she should point

A: Stop! Stop! Stop!

She calmed and we admired the spider for a bit then walked on.




A: So, just for future reference, what should I say when I want you to stop?

R: I wanted to obey but my butt got scared.


I know I'll be the one left to fight off the hordes of rattlescorantulas.

Good thing I have mad ninja skills.
