And putzing was the act of doing this.

Nothing to do with the Yiddish term you're a putz or putzing about.

No, because a putz is sort of a fool and putzing about is kind of doing foolish things.

Is that not true?

That's the original.

That's the OG meaning.

Yes, you are correct.

Yeah, they're like, where am I going to put the manger repair guy?

They had no spot, so they created, they just expanded the natural scene around the, I guess, the barn.

They created fields, of course.

All of a sudden you had lakes, you had cliffs, you had rivers, you had buildings, you had more buildings.

And before you know it, a putz, or a putz rather, it's probably putz, it could take up an entire room.

Like they would clear out a room and dedicate it to their putz.

That's right.

And now I digress very briefly to tell you of a little natural diorama I made at my camp on a stump, on a big old tree stump that I brought up there from a neighbor's front yard.

You brought your own stump?

I brought my own stump, which is a whole story in itself, which I won't get into.

But the stump is now located near the fire, and I created a whole scene there where we display the rocks that we paint when we go up there.

And then I brought it a step forward, and I made a whole nature scene featuring little plastic animals of all the animals that I've called in the camp cam.

And I mention this only because while I was doing it, it was a weekend with a lot of the kids there.
