It wasn’t until this comment that I went back and checked. I would have bet money on it being windows - and some energy saving trick.

I think it has less to do with the words they follow and much more to do with the fact that Brown Windows is more common word combo than Brown Widows. Also for me I have been in the process of doing some home construction so windows are much more on my mind than spiders.

And then my first thought after realizing it was “widows” was how awful the housing market must be to cause this level of degradation.
