Today has been the first day that I have really, truly missed daylight savings. We've just set out clocks back an hour (effective last Sunday) and the sky darkening so early makes me sleepy on the bus. Sadly it also means that any after hours yard work needs to be done in the dark.
In trying not to use nasty litters, my cats and bunny use a biodegradable made from rice leftovers (no, I'm not really sure how that works..). Tonight I decided to empty the litter trays and water my veggie patch, and afterwards decided to pull an old crate from my shed to empty into the bin. After I did all of this, I took a look at the shed in the darkness and saw my old enemy; the wolf spider.
I really don't know if it's the same one as last time I scared myself silly, but it wasn't small, and this time I was the one who stood my ground and the spider was the one who started dancing like an idiot and running away. Unfortunately last time we met, the spider was the one who kept its nerve. I must be getting less wussy as I spend more time in the great outdoors, because I'm sure the neighbours heard me screaming like a little girl last time. This time they might just have heard me taunting it.
I might look into getting some extra lights out there though..
