2. I have friends who made or make macrame, other handwork

But their unique handwork didn't inspire this idea. Years ago, we got about 40 ft. of hawser at a sale for $1. I didn't buy it for any reason other than it was a bargain We tied it between 2 of the massive trees in the yard, and the squirrels have used it as a shortcut ever since. The trees are about the biggest left in the neighborhood and it bothers me that so many trees have been cut in less than 20 years. I noticed yesterday that the rope is in very good shape, even though it is outside year round. As I looked at it, I wondered if the squirrels would use ropes placed at other angles, and the idea of creating large formations rose from those thoughts

I save everything, too. I have projects my kids and grandkids made, such treasures!
