I carefully avoided hitting the web with the weed eater. Good job me. Then I bumped it with the push lawn mower. Bad job me. The spider immediately began fixing the web. So all is not lost.

I couldn’t see the camera’s screen so I just took as many as I could. OK. Enough excuses. You don’t come here because of my outstanding photos so what am I worried about.
I took a couple of images and turned them into this gif:
