Screaming for joy?


I can relate to this National Park Service message.

Our favorite part of spring is walking into spider webs and screaming every time. What’s yours?

I wish. I haven’t seen any webs yet, although I have spotted some individual strands of silk. Warm weather is coming, though!

    My favourite part of spring is seeing people across the street walk into spider webs. One moment they’re fine, and the next moment they’re screaming and waving their arms everywhere. You don’t know if you saw someone walk into a spider’s web or just suddenly go nuts.

    There is a cedar hedge down one side of my house, about six feet from the wall. One day some years ago, I walked around the corner and found four or five large webs stretched across the gap, each occupied by a proportionately large spider. As I recall, it was a dewy morning, which made the webs quite visible — which was good, as otherwise I might have just blithely walked down the path. There would have been screaming.

    Worst part of getting face-webbed for a spectacle-wearer is the sticky strands getting pasted onto the lenses needing proper cleaning, which is awkward in the field.

    Over here in the Netherlands, web season is late summer, early fall, so I was a little surprised to read “Our favorite part of spring”. Other than that, I completely endorse the message.
