Down came the rain, and washed the spider out

It's a rainy day.I was out doing stuff and I happened to grab the end of the woodshed gutter and lift it to drain out the water (it's all janky- not enough mounting brackets - gets overwhelmed in squalls).I felt something move under my palm, and my hand came away with a little silk, but I was fully turned away to the next thing before I got that thought.You know, the Whattttt... did I just touch/see/step on? thought, that dawns after the fact.I turned back to look, and there was a HUGE spider.  Not at all itsy bitsy.  Legs all bundled up, huddled on the only dry square inch.  Avoiding the downpour.I really appreciate that she didn't bite me.  When I squeezed her.  For a prolonged moment.
