Tarantula Season


 The seasons are different here on the farm.

We have Hoodie and Shorts season, Shorts and Polo season, Tarantula season, Potholder season, The Three Days of Rain/Flooding season, Woodgathering season and then back to the beginning.

Honorable mention seasons:

 Holy Hail season usually in May.

Rattlesnake season is 24/7 365...

Mountain Lion, bobcat, coyote and javalina season are also 24/7 365 but not as terrifying.

Border season is a new one but becoming a very real one. Living as close to the southern border as we do has been pretty intense these past few months as the three properties surrounding ours have had intruders. It is real and is seemingly not an issue up the food chain, but it is to us. 

Oh and for the record, Tarantula season is not a scary one for me. The predators of the Tarantula are far more worrisome to this often barefooted person (well in the backyard). You see, the Tarantula Hawk hovers in the grass, and to step on one is going to ruin your next few days. 

And every season is a joyfilled season, All because two people fell in love!
