When the kids were small we would take long weekend trips to Door County most summers--sometimes with the kids and sometimes without. One Fall we decided to take the kids and spend Columbus Day weekend. It rained a lot, so we never repeated that time of year, but we had fun. We ate good food at The Cookery, walked through Founders Square, read, slept, explored.
Walking along the dock one late morning when the rain had subsided a bit, we were stopped in our tracks by the beauty of a flawless spiderweb glistening with raindrops that hug precariously from the pier. Later I found a glittery-gold spiderweb ornament for our Christmas tree--with a tricked-out spider to-boot! Every year as we decorated our tree we reminisced about that day just after the rain when something so simple was so unexpected and beautiful.
