While I slept

Rainy, cold, stormy. And an unexpected day off. A good day to sleep.

This morning, between breakfast and going back to bed for the day, I spotted this family of spiderlings, just emerging from behind one of my framed pictures.

Spiderlings and their shadows

They were already starting to disperse; when I got too close, a couple more took off running. I counted 27 in all. There were probably more behind the picture.

This evening, when I looked again a few minutes ago, only 4 spiderlings remain. Searching the walls and ceiling, I found 4 more. And a newly-fat cellar spider in a nearby corner. How many spiderlings has she eaten today, I wonder.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
