This morning I went kayaking on the lake. It started out very misty and romantic, and ended up clear and beautiful. What a pleasure, catching the foliage at the right time!
In other news, Jake is feeling better. We looked at the spider, and he was disappointingly common, with brown stripes. He had spun quite a lot of webbing insided his little plastic cup too - I guess he was REALLY hungry! We also took Jake to the doctor yesterday, a substitute older man we'd never met before, who assured us that this could not be spider bite symptoms, and it will likely blow over quickly. He also gave Mike deep, heartfelt compliments about his being such a great, concerned Dad. That was very kind of him, indeed. And Mike was very touched.
Jake has become our official Helper, helping us put together the new shelving for Mike's office. I had no idea he was so capable, but he kept track of all the plastic pieces and screws, handing me each screw on request and turning the screwdriver correctly every time. Today he and Mike put together another shelf unit and I heard that he got to hammer all by himself too. He loved it!
