To Use or Not to Use...That is the Question

Well we're back from our mini-holiday, with minimal boxing news to report. I went to check on my first planted box, Black Diamond and found that the animals had gotten to it a bit! The box itself and its contents were fine (save for a small chunk taken out of the box) but a poor HH left with it was soaked through and is pretty illegible now. I dried it out and am awaiting further instructions from its owner.

I completely forgot to bring the new inkpad for Black Diamond!

I planted a new box in the same area. Mother is now awaiting visitors. But I forgot to reprint a first finder's certificate so there is currently only a small token for the FF. I was certainly forgetful this week!

Finally, I wrapped both of my boxes in plastic Ziploc bags before leaving them. Hours after we left, however, I was still thinking about that - if I should have left them unwrapped or not. To use plastic bags or not - that is my question. Black Diamond survived the winter and wildlife just fine sans bag, but the HH in a bag did not. I think I'll be worrying about my little boxes until I hear about them again...
