A spider was spinning her cunning web of deceit when I returned home from work yesterday. The setting sun was highlighting the thin strands, or I would have missed it. She was starting from the outside frame and working her way inwards, with quick, precise geometry. I took this picture, then went inside to get the kids so they could see too. By the time they came out, the web was almost finished.
This morning I went out early to see if I could get a good picture with the sunrise and the dew, but alas, the web was gone...I think our gardener probably cleared it out of the way. Hopefully the spider got a meal first!
Last Saturday I took a soccer ball to the dirt field a block away and counted to ten. No one showed up. But then, within a minute there were four of us passing the ball around. Soon we had a good scrimmage of 3 on 3 going! I'm hoping to make it a weekly event, as I love the exercise. One of the guys was a former Chodort IT student.

Guitar Number 2 music video: Burden Blessing
Awhile back I posted about my new guitar making hobby. I finished my second cigar-box guitar a few months ago and have enjoyed playing it. The sound is not that good, but the intonation is better than the first one. Plus, it's a cool shape!
Every guitar must have a new song played on it. This one is called Burden Blessing; it's a blessing for anyone who is carrying any sort of burden. Video footage is from around the neighbourhood.
What is your cross to carry?
To others it appears to be joy
Only you know the patience required
The struggle with faithfulness
May your burden be light, may your yoke be easy
May your struggle free the Hope of the world
May your ears hear the whisper, may your heart be full
of the One who knows you
