Memphis has the strangest weather! You may be wondering if my sanity has finally left me...and I'm quite certain it has. That said, I saw it with my very own eyes. Yesterday as I pulled in the driveway I noticed that the ground in front of our house was completely white. Come to find out Kenzie and two of the kids down the street had emptied a big box of those styrofoam packing peanuts all over the yard. Love them! I think the feeling was mutual though, because their excitement was overwhelming ;o) when I told the kids to pick them all up. They then proceeded to scatter the little white peanuts all over the yard, maybe hoping it would make them less obvious and I might not notice. Much to their disappointment, I did notice and the fun game of pick up began again! Aren't I super fun!?! Needless to say, I will be surprised if they do that again! I found the picture on ebay...they will sell anything. This item sold for $6.50.

If the peanuts they scattered all over the ground look like the picture you posted, they can be easily dissolved with water (they're cellulose). Although, I'm sure they learned a valuable lesson by playing 54000-peanut-pick-up! So the next time something like that happens, think sprinkler!
:) Well, I don't think they looked exactly like that, but it would be worth a shot...
