As I reported earlier, Friday was the judging of the 2nd Annual Peep Show. We left the Peeps in all their glory and award ribbons on the display table until Monday, to give others who may have missed the show an opportunity to look over all the entries.
Apparently when the first folks arrived Monday morning they were dismayed to find hundreds of sugar ants encompassing the "winners circle"! Apparently, the sugar ants had enjoyed their own Peep Show over the weekend. I'm not so sure that Elvis Peepsley was their favorite though. They seemed to like the lemon cake Peep Hole - Peeps at Work, the best.
Everything was cleaned up and thrown away and the bloated sugar ants were disposed of too....or so we thought. But ants are a lot like people. Word of a good thing must have passed quickly through word of mouth, and we still had some stragglers today, so the guys with the big guns - okay, they were tiny little rifles - were brought in and the place was exterminated. At least they died on a full tummy!
May they rest in Peeps!
