Ugh! It was all over me. I felt bad that I broke the web though. I like looking at the webs outside but I wouldn't want one in my house. If I find a spider in the house, I get a rag or paper towel and take it outside. I found one on the floor in the kitchen and just got the broom and swept it out. I won't kill them. On the subject of your outdoor work table, you can also paint some polyurethane on the top and it will save the wood from rotting. I have an unpainted back door and that's what I do every year. It has preserved it so far and it's about 20 years old.Kearnygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429493116809940852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-12522075739848411192014-09-20T22:16:17.763+01:002014-09-20T22:16:17.763+01:00Like you I often stop and admire spiders and their...Like you I often stop and admire spiders and their webs in our garden and on our patio. I try not to break their art work, unless it is right in my path.

I usually give the old towels to the Seal Sanctuary here in Scarborough as the baby sick seals need them apparently. You did a good job with the refurbishment of the work bench as you said, good for a few more years.<br />DannekeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
