Colonized
I wore these old Adidas running shoes in the creek one day in August. Afterwards, I left them on the front porch to dry in the sun. When I brought them into the house, I noticed that they were full of sticky spider webs that had collected leaves. Today, I tried to clean out the leaves. After some sweeping with a paper-towel and some banging on the side of the trash can, I reached in and felt something soft and rolly-polly. It was a black widow spider. Yikes. I looked at the other shoe. Inside was a second black widow, even larger than the first. Word to the wise: If your shoes have been on the porch, you may want to look them over before you put them on.
