I take back every nasty thing I said or thought on my way into work this morning in the rain – my snails are back!

I was worried that the heat had done them harm, but I think they just burrowed into the cool dark of the soil and waited for rain. I saw one this morning, and when I came home there were so many more! Baby snails, too!

I picked this little guy up and put him on my hand. He was a little scared – in fact, he pooped on me.

For the record, baby poop is disgusting. Baby snail poop, on the other hand, is adorable (but also pretty disgusting).

I called Ed at work to tell him a baby snail pooped on me. He did not share my excitement.

I am going to be very very sad when snail season is over. I love my slimy little guys!

Yay snails!
