Our condo has a small deck overlooking Lake Michigan. Just large enough for a small round, glass-top table, two chairs and a potted plant. (We can squeeze four chairs in the space when friends come over.) The view is lovely and always changing.....but the table top and chairs always seem to be "dirty".
There are lots of spiders that make their home on/over/around the deck. We don't see them during the day, so they must be busy at night. We never see them.....but we find their "leavings"....broken webs on the railing. Spider poop on the table. Black blobs.
So we grab a paper towel and bottle of Windex and clean the top of the table and wipe the chairs. And we sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee or glass of wine or our dinner.
It doesn't really bother me.....except yesterday, while sitting in my chair......plop.....a glob of spider poop landed on my beige shorts. Ugh. I looked up and couldn't see a darn thing. Where are they??? How can a little spider (small enough to go unseen) produce such a "big" poop??? And why did it have to land on my beige shorts???
Ah well.....living close to nature. I'll take the small inconvenience and do another load of laundry.
