BLACK WIDOWS! That would do me in! When I lived in Fl there was a wolf spider in the bathroom with me once that was jumping from wall to wall and honestly I thought I was stuck in a nightmare!

Landscaping last fall is what did my back in this last time, and I think it's for good so I'm SO DONE with it. I was digging a freakin' hole with a pick because our lovely clay soil was so hard and the next day I couldn't walk. So much for that! I've planted mostly trees and perennials. If I plant any annuals it will be in some pots by the front door. If anything in the ground doesn't make it; TOUGH BEANS.

Nikki, if I were you I'd kill it all and put gravel in... do black widows live in gravel?! Maybe get a flame thrower?

Lynn, 20yr old girls are SOMETHING ELSE. But wait, when they're 22 they become wonderful. At least mine has. Nikki, I hope you're not 20! LOL If so, then you're an exception to that!

Becky, taking those toys away from your 4yo is punishing YOU! LOL I don't know what to tell you, though! Good luck with that. I think it sounds like you NEED some tank time!

And, yes, TWENTY freakin' degrees, all you warm weather wimps!
