Shift and Sort

Like most people, because of circumstances beyond my control, I end up with a pile of stuff in a place where a pile is inconvenient. Then the shift and sort begins and the exploration and discovery. Have you ever noticed that fairies and trolls add things to existing piles when you aren’t looking? Sometimes they are stray screws and bolts, other times it is things like towels or tools. I may have left three items, but now there are fourteen. Where does all this stuff come from?
