When snails infiltrate your garden
Posted May 21, 2013 by andrea tomkins
… it goes without saying that you should host a snail race. There’s nothing to it, really, and it offers a bit of diversion when you’re trying to get some yard work done.

Gardening, part 1
Posted April 1, 2013 by andrea tomkins
Guess who we saw in the backyard bathing in the sump pump dump the other day? THIS DOOD:
