BLACK WIDOW SPIDER

Tonight we ventured out into the heat to hit the local grocery store. We opened our garage door and as DH walked around the back of the car to get to the driver's door, he glanced in the corner of the garage where one of the garage door rails is anchored and noticed a spider.
Further inspection proved it to be a Black Widow spider.
You know it's a Black Widow because of the signature red hourglass on it's abdomen.
This is the first one we've seen since our arrival to Arizona last August.
It's just another example of how you need to be aware of what's around you at all times. It's not that they are everywhere, they tend to come out this time of year.

Here's the link to "Wikipedia" for the break down of the "BLACK WIDOW"

DW was not too happy to see that "thing" living in our garage, so I took care of it. One quick swipe of my shoe and it is no more!
Also it's our understanding that we broke some temp records here in AZ. We will admit that today it was HOTTTTT!! Our digital thermometer was left out on our back table in full direct sunlight all day. It has a High/Low setting for the day. Here's what it recorded!

Tomorrow for our own fun, we are cracking an egg early in the morning, sticking it in a frying pan and leaving it on the patio table outside. We'll take a photo later in the afternoon and actually see if we can cook an egg in these kind of temps. Stay tuned!!
