Along came a spider

A spider has taken up residence. She is outside Mark’s office window, which is at the second story level, so we can't easily get rid of her (I'd be afraid to, anyway!) I guess she can stay. She seems to be thriving.

I usually only see her toward the end of the day. By then the light is poor and she just looks large and black. But I just had to have a picture, so I got out the camera and took one with the flash - and the extra light revealed a more interesting creature. She’s about 2 inches across and looks hairy. Yikes!
