Préoccupation à midi, parce que si l’araignée tisse sa toile au milieu de la journée, cela implique que la pluie se prépare et qu’il faut donc se dépêcher ; et espoir le soir parce qu’une araignée qui se balade tranquillement au crépuscule est détendue et donc que le beau temps devrait persister.Rate it:
