Check Your Boots

Photo by Catherine Stevens
When backpacking I've learned always to check my boots before putting them on in the morning. But I realized just now that I've become complacent about inspecting my shoes when I'm home. Who's to say that a spider didn't take residence in them on any given night? My property is riddled with black widows, after all.

I need to be more vigilant. I'm talking Mad-Eye Moody vigilant.

Thanks, Robin. It's been too long since my last reading of Potter.

Shoes? What about is crawling on you in the night. I am going to buy mosquito netting!

Good plan, I always find them in my shoes and boots.

I was going to say constant vigilance but I see anonymous has beaten me to it!

Your foot would probably smoosh it before it was a threat anyway right? ;-)

That's what I tell myself every time I put on my shoes, saskboy. Even if it isn't true.
