This morning was overcast, cool, and dry.
But, as it wasn’t a school day, I was determined to get some gastropod action.

Snail eradication (day 21).
This morning was dry and cool and overcast, so the pickings were slim.
Snail eradication (day 20).
Another morning, another gastropod foray.
News, both happy and wistful.
The happy news and the wistful news concern separate matters, though.
First, the happy news:
Snail eradication (day 19).
This morning, like yesterday morning, was sunny and dewy, and just a little bit chilly.
Good snailing weather.
Actually, though, given recent gastropod ratios during my morning forays, it might be more accurate to call it slugging rather than snailing. Except that slugging already has a meaning.
Snail eradication (day 18).
Finally, a morning that dawned clear, cool, and moist.
Tired of being holed up wherever it is they hole up during the dry weather, the gastropods came out to play.
Snail eradication (day 17).
This morning, once again, was dry and overcast, although not as cold as it has been.
Because I know this is low-yield gastropod-picking weather, I went right to the most likely locations: the bottom of the watering can and the new snail and slug shelters.
The news from the science fair workshop.
Science fair projects are due Tuesday morning. Can you guess what we’re doing today?
Snail eradication (day 16).
Another slow morning for snail picking.
Like sugar packets in a diner.
The Free-Ride family enjoyed a late breakfast (although you better believe that if either of the Free-Ride offspring claims to be hungry in the next two hours, I’m calling it an early lunch) at a local diner.
While there, the elder Free-Ride offspring struggled to eat an omelette off an unstable plate. Any attempt at cutting, spearing, or spooning sent the plate a-spinning.
