Something bit or stung me while I was pulling weeds from the bushes in the yard last week. It doesn’t itch as badly as it did the first few days, and the swelling has gone down, though it doesn’t seem to be completely back to normal. One friend suggested that it might have been a wolf spider, because of the two puncture marks.

That idea creeps me out (and so did the images that popped up when I Googled the critter!), but from what I understand, wolf spiders are bug-eaters, so they can’t be all bad … except if/when they nibble my fingers!!

*Note to self: Wear gardening gloves at all times!
