Innovation

After Hurricane Matthew last October a couple of our granddaughters came over to help pick up sticks and organic debris in the yard. I was using the large paper waste bags. I was having trouble getting the bags open. They are deeper than my arm is long so I couldn't get the sides knocked out where they needed to be. This meant the bottom wouldn't lay flat and the bag wouldn't stand up on its own. Josephine and Bailey came up with an innovative solution.

Bag open, problem solved. It makes you wonder how many novel solutions to problems are ignored by adults because we are concerned about looking foolish.
