Camp Update: by Simyra

gray paw Camp Update by Simyra:

It was a beautiful July morning. There were a few bears peacefully grazing in the sedge meadow. Off in the distance there was a very distinct sound coming from the far edge of the meadow. As we walked closer, we saw the movements of the rare and illusive lesser yellowlegs bird. We noticed that he was busily snapping off grass from the ground and placing the grass in his bill, he would jump up on a long piece of driftwood. He carefully and gently placed each blade of grass skillfully on the driftwood. We sat in anticipation, not understanding the mind of the illusive bird. After he flew off into the woods we walked over to the driftwood that he was so creatively focused on and to our amazement, we found what is pictured below.

Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours.
They are one of the few things in this world
that you get free of charge.
If you had all the money in the world,
you couldn't buy an extra hour.
What will you do with this priceless treasure?
Remember, you must use it,
as it is given only once.
Once wasted you cannot get it back.
