Now versus later

I've had the froggie windsock for years and years: a gift from my parents.

I've always had it hanging indoors, to keep it from getting faded.

But a few days ago, I was inspired to hang it from a tree, outdoors, where the wind could catch it.

Yeah, the colors will fade from the sun. But it tickles me to look out the window and see it flapping around in the breeze.

It's being **used**, rather than preserved. And that's o.k.
