And so it begins...... Rain comes, and with it........ snails! It looks like the love affair Lizzy began with snails last year is still going strong. Stronger, in fact, because a new fan has joined her ranks. Peter, too, seems to have an affinity for the slimy shelled ones. As soon as it started sprinkling, Lizzy began shouting about snails, and ran around seeking them out. That girl has an uncanny snail-finding ability. I've never seen such tiny baby snails, or such big hunkers as the ones she easily finds hiding out in our bushes. Snails, I feel like I owe your entire species an apology. While they are certainly well intentioned, and they do love you so, Lizzy and Peter are not always the gentlest with you. Thanks for letting us admire your slimy wonder, and we'll try to keep an eye out and not step on any one in your family. Wish us luck!
