Actually, the town I grew up in,ten miles away was voted "The Coolest Small Town in America" this year. (it was a contest by Budget Travel),but hey, we'll take it. I blogged about it.

I can relate to putting down roots (literally & figuratively), and knowing your neighbors. <br /><br />I never kill spiders, they don't bother me. I'm too busy worrying about snakes...LOLLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496172669599418214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-6996410774739214712009-09-20T04:55:34.731-07:002009-09-20T04:55:34.731-07:00It is a particular fetching way you show the spide...It is a particular fetching way you show the spider and the web then go on to show the town and the way its web captured your family.

I then put a piece of black contruction paper behind it -gently. Let the web cling to the paper then lift it away. It's a cool way to sit and look at the intricate web.Pammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00513814300181006348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-34473792177209037022009-09-19T11:47:27.299-07:002009-09-19T11:47:27.299-07:00Nothing like a small town, and I've been bless...Nothing like a small town, and I've been blessed to live in one for the past 14 years!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />CheriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298890660755610835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-25430105578389293372009-09-19T11:15:15.959-07:002009-09-19T11:15:15.959-07:00Spiders are amazing.

Small trampoline is a wonderful image, except for ending up as a breakfast burrito is you jump on it.<br /><br />I swear, if you sit on a patch of grass long enough you can hear it grow and you'll see things that you don't even notice when walking by. The lawn is not inert.joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716634241393118864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7574822672391090343.post-27055288754646533692009-09-19T09:45:17.068-07:002009-09-19T09:45:17.068-07:00Such a great description of the benefits of small ...Such a great description of the benefits of small town life and a sense of belonging.
