One of the Irregulars

One of the irregulars

I had coffee and a chocolate-chocolate chip muffin this morning at Cups. I sat outside, that way I could listen to traffic. One of the regular irregulars sat motionless on their massive web beside me. I was surprised how big this web was, it must have been three feet across. They totally ignored me as they were focused with food. I broke a bridge on Saturday morning so I had an appointment with the dentist this afternoon. They removed the bridge and put in a temporary until Sept 10th. I asked the dentist if I needed to avoid any bar fights. He said, “Not the ones I’ll win.” The only fights I’m guaranteed to win are the ones I don’t get into. Sorry, no landscape image today.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Those “irregulars” are quite industrious! We’ve had one who kept trying to build a web across our front walk. We’d find and clip one of the ends so we could get by, but by the next morning it would be back again!

    Oh My! I felt those sticky webs, all over our dairy barn in South Dakota when I was 5 years old and just trying to feed the calves, all over again!! We just called them “barn spiders”. They truly are industrious and refuse to be deterred! Great photo, Monte. Sorry about the bridge, sounds like you have a dandy dentist with a sense of humor. That makes sitting in that chair much easier, I am sure. Blessings all.

      This is the new dentist and so far.I’m quite pleased with him and his staff. I think most of us do this really strange dance once we walk into a spider web. 😁😂
