Autumn

A spider in the bed
a mouse on the rug
a harvestman on my shoe

A season of harvest, indeed.

All seeking shelter as we tumble headlong towards winter!

But is it a glow mouse?

I'm afraid the teeming minibeasts are one of the things about autumn I'm not so crazy about...

Marcheline said...

Um.... a harvestman? As in, a dude in overalls with a pitchfork and steel toed boots?

That could be painful!

A harvestman is a wonderfully elegant spider with long thread-thin legs we have hereabouts. Check it out on google/ wikipedia etc...

Btw sad to say the mouse was dead, deposited on said rug by our friend C's lovely pale ginger cat. We'd been sitting eating cake and drinking tea for several minutes before L spotted the deceased.

Summer's coming...
Spider webs across bush tracks
Mosquitos after 4pm
Flies, flies, flies.
