The Only Critter Left

Deacon's project lately has been to demolish the massive overgrown gardens in our yard. It started as my ambition, but ended quickly. I quit! I am not a fan of spiders, but have learned to breathe a little less heavy at their sight and put them in their place since I have little ones watching. However, I have not mastered the self composure that I would like to have someday at thousands of spiders. That is literally what we had in our yard. To add to the problem, they were Hobo Spiders that were mating. I am happy to say that my wonderful husband relieved me of this bother and has removed all of their homes, poisoned them to oblivion, and then fogged the crawl space and garage just to catch any stragglers. I think it is safe to say that we are well on our way to starting over in the area of gardens. There is little place to hide now in our dirt. We did find one little critter left.

If you look to the left of Deacon, you will notice no plants. Hallelujah! By the way, Ivan was not really as scared as he looks. He even touched it.
