I've been on alert all weekend. So far none in sight.

Maybe they got sucked into a transatlantic jet's engines. I can just see the headlines: Airliner brought down after encountering a herd/flock/cloud of spiders headed for the US. [What is the proper term for a collection of spiders? A horror? A fright? A bloody awful lot of arachnids?]

So I went for my usual after-dinner walk (a mile or so in a circle) - and got just half-way around when it began to rain. I think I set a new record hoofing the second half back home.

I've found clutter, colony, or cluster - depending on where you look.

But if they make it here - I will add them to the collective!

Sunny and warm today, but of course rain is forecast for tomorrow, as we start getting near the week-end

I woke up in Antarctica. I expect to see Emperor penguins with eggs on their feet .... assuming the sun comes up.....

There is 2" of snow/ice on everything, wind is howling. It's spring tree-breaking time!

At least the power and internet are working!

Look out Texas! Here it comes!

Don't forget to dress warmly. Or better yet, just stay at home with a comforter and a good book
