Snags
The arboratum that is my back yard is home maintains a dead trees. They are called snags and are important to wildlife such as woodpeckers, kestrels, owls, nuthatches and bluebirds. Many mammals use tree cavities in snags, including bats, squirrels, raccoons, and opossums.
Ask the child near you how many ways a tree can be identified but only if you know the answer.

I love paper, all paper, all kinds. I love crunching notebook paper in my hands.
I do this at my desk and toss the piece at my feet to signify I am through with the page but I'm not. I'll pick it up and crunch it again and again until its crispness has turned itno softenss.
The rag business evolved into paper but only for the last century.

Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt
A hyper rare 80s Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt that I sold on Etsy.
His brother bought it.
Had I kept it, and I wanted to, I would have cut it and framed its pieces.

Me: (On the floor under my desk trying to resolve the connectivity problem with the Amazon Fire Stick while on the phone with customer service) Are you in the Philippines?
CS: (very surprised) Yes.
Me: I'm feeling very defensive about our election results and I want you to know I didn't vote for him.
CS: I can't discuss that with you.
Me: OK...Please understand we are terrified.
CS: SO. ARE. WE.
