About Last Weekend-- Part 1: Squirrel Wars, No Luck and Eggs

FRIDAY, APRIL 12

Weather bad again today.  Fought and lost to the squirrels, who despite my best efforts, broke through my defenses of the bird feeders and gorged themselves.  They are worthy opponents.  However, I went to Menard's and bought out the anti-squirrel heavy artillery, a metal sparrow feeder and a feeder that drops down a covering over the food ports when squirrels get on them due to their weight.

TAKE THAT SQUIRRELS.   But I know they will figure out how to get through these.

Met Kevin and Kelly at the Legion for 50-50.  As usual, no luck for us.


SATURDAY, APRIL 13

I went to the Fox Lake American Legion and helped the SAL, Sons of the American Legion to which I belong, put out Easter eggs for the kids.  The real little kids are worth the price of admission.  There was one little girl who had a small Easter basket and was eagerly running around, grabbing eggs, tossing them into her basket, only to have them pop out immediately.  There was a Dad following her and grabbing the fallen eggs.

Another Mom was admonishing her young boy not to keep looking at the Easter bunny because he wasn't going to give him eggs, he had to get them himself.  She failed to convince him.
