Monarch babies surviving the rain and chilly temps.
This little bit of curbing next to my milkweed plant is sprinkled with lentil-sized snails.
Up close, they look like cinnamon rolls.
I try to rescue earthworms that come out of the soggy ground only to get stranded on the dry patio.
I have this big jar half filled with compost, and I toss the worms in there. When the rain stops, I'll find a good place to dump the jar out.
My one lonely tadpole has been slowly growing. I was reluctant to bring him to Mrs. W's class, because I didn't know if he would live. He seems to be doing OK, but definitely not growing as fast as they normally do. He spends most of the time hiding, so when I saw him right up front, I had to take his picture.
The snails and salamanders have the run of the place when the weather is like this. I watched this attractive slug for awhile on my patio wall.
Till he made his way back down to the ground.
He he! Funny salamander face! Don't worry, I was holding him gently.
