Found

2013-05-14

I was walking my normal lunch route and found this letter in the woods. It seems a young kid was looking for a pen pal. She wrapped it all up with plastic so the rain wouldn’t find it first. On the back of her note it listed interesting facts, like, “Did you know there are electric blue lobsters and jellyfish that glow?” It made my day! It also, reminded me of one of my old favorite web sites http://foundmagazine.com/

We built little green houses to keep our dirt a little warmer and too keep them from getting flooded by the rainforest. I think we’re ready to plant now.
