Fun to read! 👍🏼

Glad to see Emily changing it up and keeping that pet spider.

I like to catch and release whenever possible, except those well behaved jumping spiders that we allow inside to regulate bugs in the kitchen. It's farm living.

I'm glad you enjoyed the read! You inspire me to no end with your peaceful coexistence with spiders. Farm living is on my bucket list, going to need to get braver about spiders before then...

👍🏼After some years on the farm, you’ll get used to the bumbles, mud dauber wasps and the spiders. The coolest bugs to play with are praying mantises. So huge, but they won’t do anything to you.

Tom Sawyer had that urge to scratch, like a person in an MRI.

I don't remember that specific part, but it sounds like him!
