This morning, my landlord announced that it is the time of year for tarantulas to seek warm places for the winter and to keep an eye out for them in and around the house. He also demonstrated with his fist the size of the creatures. Well, this is the first time I had heard that there were tarantulas this far north and this high up. I am not a happy camper....actually, I'm totally freaked out about this new development! I haven't seen one yet, but the season is young and the dental assistant I saw today gleefully told me about running over "lots" of them on the road betwen Taos and Tres Piedras.
Wish someone had warned me......
