Tony was kind enough to remind us of two big, fun neighborhood events for families. His post reminded me to remind neighbors that there will be treat filled plastic eggs in the hedge row at our home, again this year. We put out about 200 items, before we head out to Mass, and hope they are gone before Monday. Because experience tells us that within a day, the squirrels have learned how to open the eggs, and we don't need the mess. Our home is at 4611 Springfield and the treats should be outside, by 9 AM. We don't have the time or energy to create an organized "hunt" with all the benefits that come from shared face time and common goals, but we do hope to carry forward some random acts of kindness. Folks, please make time to enjoy the public events and our smaller, household offering. Our hope is that neighbors who pass by will take a treat, and maybe pause long enough to see a child (or someone young at heart, or someone who may not have any other holiday treat) delight in a silly tradition. I love seeing Holiday decorations, and knowing that many of our neighbors are contributing to a common joy. The details from Tony West's announcement are repeated below. "Egg hunts abound in the neighborhood today."
Friends of Malcolm X Park, 51st & Osage, egg hunt and party, from 12 m. to 5 p.m. today. Friends of Walnut West Library, field behind the library, at 40th near Walnut St. at 12:30 p.m. Free candy _____________________________________________________________ Let the sun shine in!
