Shawn and I are still doing our "stupid little walks for our stupid health" pandemic walks and today we came across something unique. This Crayola yellow house bills itself as a "little free treasure" house. That's a light up key fob that I put in there because it was currently empty. I think this is such a lovely idea. In fact, Shawn and I are thinking about attaching one to our current little free library so we can slowly divest our house of all the little weird McDonald's toys and whatnot we've accumulated thanks to years of having a smol in the house. In the meantime, I put together a small box of some stuff that had been kicking around on the sunporch waiting to be moved to the attic and will take it over to this existing one over the next few days.

Apparently, you can follow this one on Instagram under @littletreasurehouse and over on Facebook.

What a cute idea!

On Thursday morning, Shawn and I were headed out to take her to work when I noticed that someone had flung a number of the books out of our Little Free Library. They didn't destroy them, but they were on the ground... in a pile of shredded hosta leaves? Did the person fling the books out because they hated them and then stomped on them so hard they ripped up the hosta??

Then, the next day, I'm taking garbage out when I notice that, in our backyard, someone has broken our "Sit a Spell" bench. It normally sits under our downstairs bathroom window. Around the broken remains, someone had left a Minnesota Wild jersey, both pair of shoes (tennis shoes of some variety), and a gatorade bottle full of... some substance, though it was at least BLUE, so probably not pee?

And a ripped up hosta.

Someone's psychosis really does not like hosta.
