Have a Very Brown Recluse Day! or Night, Actually: I Present to You At the Cabin's 9th Recluse of 2008.


Found in our little office room last night. Hugh was working at his desk; I had been making Cornish pasties in the kitchen. I needed to get into the office and sleeping dogs were in the way, so I moved a floor lamp to get by and underneath was this guy. He was perilously close to dog feet; perilous for recluse and dogs alike. He is very large—definitely rivaling 2008's recluse #8 for biggest yet. It's been 3 months since then with no more sightings till now. Sigh. I had hoped it might be over.
