April Fools?

I reread the OP to a friend this morning and picked up the subtleties second go round.
Great job.
It was about 3 AM here when I saw the post. The first thing I thought was, what time is it in CA and why is he on now?

 

[mrgreeny11]

Haha I almost put foil in one of the nest boxes. Lol

 

[Sjisty]

Darn, I worked all day yesterday sewing foil coats for my girls!

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone.

You got me the first two years I was here, Nifty, but not this time!

It was a lot of fun, thanks for brightening our day. (The reflection from the foil definitely brightened things).
