Every time I look out the back door, there's always someone trying to look in...

Last night it was this guy. I thought he had a big scar but after I looked up some photos on BugGuide, apparently this is the look boy katydids are wearing these days. I thought he was pretty smart because he was hanging out under the big spider web by the security light...probably waiting for leftovers. Easy eating.

But a couple weeks ago there were these two teen raccoons. I only saw them this one time so hopefully they've moved to a different part of the neighborhood. But cute!!! Oh those bad little things are so cute.

This morning I noticed a big spider web in my driveway. I was hoping it wasn't tethered to my car so I backed out slowly just in case.....very slowly...and at the six foot backing up point, yes, the web was definitely anchored to the car. At the 8 foot backing up point, boom, the anchor broke and the spider went flying. I felt bad about that but tomorrow, I know I'll find an even bigger web in some equally inappropriate place. I love the big projects spiders come up with at this time of year. What grand egos they have (although this morning's spider might have a slightly bruised one right now). :-)
