A September observation

I went into the Greenhouse this morning to check on the progress of the plants that are in there. It is maintaining a nice little micro-climate in there, so I am pleased. this greenhouse project may just work after all. The transplants from the hot summer sun have perked up and the 'dead' strawberry plants have put out new leaves! I was doing the happy dance.

 As I was mixing up the "food' brew to water them with, I notice an enormous spider web hanging from the ceiling to center support post. I didn't see the gigantic spider that Scott had warned me about. I took my spray mister and gave a few squirts to see the web better and it was beautiful with the water droplets on it. As I was contemplating taking a picture of it, I saw the huge arachnid coming down its 'zip' line. It seems the water droplets upset it. Madam spider yanked in on one strand of the web and pulled it to the center, then she went down and yanked in another stand and added it to the center, one more yank and the whole web collapsed and she then proceeded to glide up the center carrying the silk with her in those enormous legs. It took less than 30 seconds for her to disassemble that web that was 3 foot in diameter! The last time I saw her, she was going to a spot where I could not mess with her. amazing.

I have come to the conclusion that I can find God's creativity in everything I look at.....most of the time.....like in that spider web this morning and the actions of that spider when I sprayed its web so I could see it better. or see the Golden Ratio when I look at the spiral pattern that the sunflower seeds form while growing on that stalk, or observe the symmetry in the way plants grow and the way their leaves are arranged, or watching and feeling the changing of the seasons and seeds sprouting. Then my thoughts turn to people and it's so hard to find God in some of the faces and in their actions that I wonder......I just wonder.....is that a flaw in me or the flaw in them that I cannot see Him in them......just pondering
