Fave Friday: Slugs

January 8, 2010

Whenever it rains near the crib, these crazy snails and slugs come out of the woodwork to greet me on the slime-filled sidewalk. I always think to myself, how sucky would it be to be a slug. You’re slimy, you’re super slow, you’re gross, nobody likes you, and you melt at the sight of the [...]
