You are correct…I am a storyteller and exercised my vocabulary there. That being said, try going out on the back porch and unexpectedly come face to face with one of these slug-eaters that are the size of a Buick when it defends its coveted dish of kitty chow. You might come up with a description of that snarly hissing mouthful of escargot-loving teeth not so far from my own. ? Thanks for reading my windy stories! I love audience participation…and, animal lovers! ?

They eat snails, big slugs, and all sorts of insects. They eat termites, I was told. They are really benign as far as ‘nuisance animals’ go. Don’t leave food out (but do leave out fresh water somewhere for critters) and they’ll keep more to their nocturnal hours. To call them brazen devils is a bit over the top–they’ve been calling you a “most excellent and thoughtful human” all this time 😉

I know about feeding all the varmints! We put cat food out & don’t even have cats anymore! The neighborhood cats & dogs come around plus possums, raccoons, skunks & foxes…?

Like you and Mr. Fixit, I have great memories of City Park. My dad would take my brother and sister to school and then he and I would often go to the park to feed the ducks. We fed them stale hot dog buns from his store. While I did not loose my shoe in the pond, one foot did find its way in the water during duck feeding. I can still remember my dad telling me not to get too close, but kids will be kids. As I got older, we skated on the pond in the winter and went swimming at the pool in summer (before they built the one at Jackson Park). During the high school years, City Park was a frequent spot to take a date. But most recently, it has been the location of family reunion picnics. City Park is a special place for people of all ages.
Thanks for rekindling memories, through your writing ,and touching hearts and minds with encouragement, laughter and hope!
