Wolf spiders actually help

It's not your imagination -- there really are more big, fuzzy brown spiders in your house in the fall. But don't let them scare you. They are harmless.

They're called wolf spiders, and every autumn they seek warmth while they search for mates. While you might not like the uninvited guests, these spiders are actually doing some good.

Despite its daunting appearance (some varieties of wolf spider can reach a startling two inches in length), the wolf spider is mostly harmless to humans, according to Healthline. These shy, non-aggressive arachnids are more likely to run and hide than fight. Since their venom is not toxic to humans, a rare wolf spider bite is mildly itchy at worst.

Remembering Marsha Roberts

James Roberts writes:
It will be 6 months on November 29th, 2021 since you left us on this earth. It has been hard to say the least, but we must go on and endure until our time to meet you again. I have dreamed of you being in lavender fields with butterflies all around. We still come to visit your grave everyday. We know that you are gone, but it only helps us to remember and be as close to you here as we can. Nothing we can do can bring you back. Only encouraging words to help someone else who’s going through the same thing. That’s all we can do. Till we all meet again. My love, My wife, Our son’s Mother. -- James & Jamison Roberts.
