I shot my hands out in front of my face, one of which was holding an open pair of shears.
I was pretty sheepish having to tell the Doc "a bird flew at me and I got scared" when he asked how it happened 

A year or so ago I was chopping up a small tree in the back yard, and we have a ton of roots to trip over. So I keep a close watch on the ground whenever I'm walking around. As I'm walking toward the back of the lot, face first into a banana spider web. As I start attempting to unstuck (holy heck those webs are made of super glue), I see Mr. Long Legs on my left shoulder. In a panic, I swat him away with my right hand, and only after swinging away at my shoulder do I remember I'm holding my hatchet.

That could have ended badly. (It did for spidey)

Hahahahahaha. Well I'm glad you didn't chop your face off. 

Spiders don't bother me too much, which is good, you can probably imagine how many would be In a vineyard. A lot of Orb Weaver's and when I was a kid, Black Widows. I'm convinced it's the reason why tractors always have a vertical exhaust on the front.
