Death of two widows

Last week I was outside weeding and trying to make my house look lived in! I had grass that had grown literally four to six inches higher than it should be along the edge of my porch! It's growing like crazy right now! I decided that it would be easier to pull out a two inch section of grass away from the porch rather than just weed eating it the entire summer season. Along one edge of the porch I had just barley picked up a huge mound of dirt and grass when along came a HUGE black widow right where I had just placed my bare fingers!!!! I didn't waist anytime...I killed that sucker with my shovel. Nothing gives me the chills more than black widows!!! To make matters worse in the next section of grass that I was just about to pick up I noticed another spider mingled in the grass! I almost picked that one up too!!! I smashed that one with my shovel too and couldn't finish my weed pulling project for the rest of the day. I have decided that I need to wear gloves the next time I do that. This whole experience reminded me of when I lived in Manti. Our house was just adorable however it was over a hundred years old and not as well insulated as homes are today. One day I walked into my bathroom and a HUGE black widow decided that my SINK would be a nice place to make a web!!!! really my SINK! I was just creeped out beyond belief because I very easily could have not turned on the light and stuck my hands in the sink to wash up. We got the house sprayed very quickly after that!
