Hi, I am Chippy’s neighbor Sparky. Last November I thought I
would get a nice nap. I set my alarm clock for March 8, 2019. Yes, it is a
special hibernation alarm clock. Well, I woke on the 8th and hit the
snooze button. This isn’t your ten minute snooze button. It is a seven day
snooze button. I bet you’re jealous! The snooze went off a couple days ago.
While I was considering hitting it again, I got a frantic call from Chippy. He
was on vacation on some tropical island. He needed a small, tiny, minor, and
insignificant favor. He promised me it came with a glamorous promotion. Well,
who could turn down such a deal? I only make minimum wage flipping burgers at the
“Greasy Sunflower & Fries” during the tourist season. I could use a bit of
excitement in my life. So, I said “yes.” What is this favor? Good question, hmmm,
I better ask Chippy.
Apparently he completely forgot about St. Patrick’s Day . He
was suppose to be in charge of organizing the parade and festivities. (Rumor
has it, Mom gave Chippy quite the scolding for neglecting his duties). I got a promotion
to Grand Marshall and Chairman of St. Patrick’s Day. Wow, this is amazing. I
have never gotten a promotion or raise in my life. How hard could this be? Chippy
sent me a checklist of 10 things I needed to do. This looks easy and I have
plenty of time.
Let’s check the calendar, today is the 15th and
St. Patrick’s day is the 17th. WHAT?! I only have TWO DAYS to make this happen.
I have been tricked.
Item #1
– Pull St. Patrick’s Day hat out of storage in the
Woodpile. Boy, I never realized how big the Woodpile was until I tried to find
this hat.
If you were a hat, where would you be hiding?
I just saw the hat on the log I am now sitting
on. What happened? It is a leprechaun hat and moves all on its own. This going
to be a bit challenging.
I finally “caught” it.
I better say a prayer to St. Patrick, it will
fit me.
Item #2 – Order St. Patrick Days
sunflower seeds for the party. …Phew, my air mail package from Ireland arrived
in time.
What was in the package? What
else shamrock sunflower seeds from Irish farms. They’re green!
I better taste test them.
Yuck! Guiness flavored sunflower seeds.
The secret behind Guiness flavored sunflower seeds.
