I went out to empty the pool skimmer baskets and when I removed the cover of the first one I was met by a huge black widow who was guarding an egg sack the size of my thumb.
Called husband to ask if he had any poison around here...he said not that would kill her. So...off I wander to find a brick and hope for the best. Spider squished...egg sack as well.
Husband would have just sold the house and moved.
My poor old heart can't take shocks like that any more. Sheesh...I think I need a nap.
Thank you for not providing pictures.
I considered taking a picture but it was more important to put the cover back on the skimmer, put the dogs in the house, and then go find a weapon...all quickly so that she stayed where she was and I could complete the execution.
That, and if she had made a sudden move I probably would have dropped my phone either in the skimmer or in the pool.
But, you are welcome.
I'm your huckleberry.
