Fall has arrived!

[ninevirtues]

Need I say that it is still hot? Oh, it gets cool in the mornings and late in the evenings, but really now, it's still t-shirt weather.... bright blue skies, no haze, but shirt sleeves are de rigeur.

Ah, and the wildlife, the wildlife. Especially the spiders. They appeared around the first of September, and they are huge and furry-- they're about quarter sized, including legs.

Supposedly they don't hurt you, but they spin big, sticky webs to trap the unwary. My classmates don't seem too alarmed, but I know better. These guys LOOK harmless, but really, I think they're tarantulas with learner's permits.

For days, I had a garden spider big enough to consume a hummingbird hanging out in my bougainvillea. That was body size. She's gone, now. I know not where, nor care.
