We bought green fabric for our wedding. I turned it into a huge stack of "Christmas Present" bags, many of which are still being used 30 years later. We had a friend I gave 5 to. They celebrated Christmas with 3 different groups of people, so those sacks got used 3 times each year and the garbage it saved was incredible.You know you are a Permie when you are still finding uses from things you bought for your wedding 11 years ago.

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance

Totally awesome Thereza. I admit I've not yet found a snake in my house, but I adore seeing them outside and have been known to relocate them in the hopes they'll eat a few slugs in places I don't want slugs. (Yes, I know slugs are useful in the ecosystem, but they've almost completely eaten my 2 young kale plants I started, before the poor plants got large enough to support a hungry slug. Slugs seem to particularly adore kale!)Snake goes out in the garden to eat termites (it is a worm snake, flowerpot snake, blind snake) and to generally make the garden beautiful. This is why we do it!
[snake was maybe 12 cm/5 in long. Gorgeous. 2nd I've found here, but the first in a flipflop]
