I still remember this story a college friend would tell me about gardening with her mother in California. Her mother would always pick the big banana slugs off of the plants in her garden (of course), but then want to kill them. My friend, Danielle, however, would insist that her mother give her each big banana slug. Danielle would give each slug a little kiss, then toss it over their backyard fence.

Directly into the neighbor’s vegetable garden, I imagine…

I am so amazed at all of the little critters living in one little pinecone.

I love the variety of posts on your blog. Always something fun to read or look at.

Are those pincone critters cute or what????

I’m going over to Fauna’s blog- pronto, to see more!
