Oh, what a tangled WEB we weave, when first we practice to deceive. I enjoy the truth and visceral reality of that quote. It certainly speaks to why I so seldom bother to lie. I'd like to think it was all about morality...but really, I am just bad at keeping that WEB untangled.
Here are a couple of WEB photos. There are bound to be tangles.
Here is a bag of fake spider WEB complete with plastic spiders. I have it on my desk at work, in preparation for decorating the Imagination Theater for my Trick or Treat programs. It just isn't Halloween without a great big spider WEB!
Can you see the WEB in this photo? It wasn't a very neatly done one, but for a good couple of weeks DR and I enjoyed this spider and his WEB. He built it rather near the couch, which is near the door. We came to think of the spider as a bit of a pet and there was something so interesting about watching how excited he'd get when he caught a fly. He'd scurry right over and begin wrapping it up in his WEB. This spider disappeared at some point. I admit, though, that we haven't brushed away his WEB just yet.
I will say that, in general, I'm not a huge fan of WEBs. I like the idea that spiders eat pests, but I don't like how their WEBs make the house look unkempt if they aren't swept away. And I don't like being surprised by accidentally walking into a spider WEB. I have screamed in a very high pitched way and flapped about when meeting one with my face on my travels :)
Of course, when I learned what the word was this week, I thought of the world wide WEB where we blog and visit with one another. So, as you look at my blog, consider the whole thing a third photo for this week's word :)
Enjoy the rest of October...the end is nigh! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, so I look forward to that particular ending.

A comedian talked about walking into spiderwebs and freaking out, and how it looks weird if nobody else sees the web, just your reaction. I laughed so hard, but I can relate to it. I have walked into so many.
I have a tiny spider in my apartment that has set up shop near my plants. I don't know what she's catching, but I'm going to respect her space and judgement.
I walked into a web just yesterday - there is always one across the walk between my house and the hibiscus tree next to it, and I never learn!
I hate when I can feel a fine web across my face, I'm not scared by it I just find it incredibly annoying, for some reason!
Tara: It must be one of those universal experiences...the web flail :)
I think you are doing the right thing by respecting that spider's judgement!
Secret: Do they keep rebuilding there? I'm hoping to get another tenent by the couch soon :)
FW: No one wants to be treated like prey! :)
I love spiders and especially their webs. Great take on the word.
Churlita: Thank you! Nice to see you around the blogisphere :)
