This year I took them down and they are safely stored in the shed in an open bucket. I'll bring them back out to the houses next March. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-74497253654659183392017-09-24T14:13:45.112-07:002017-09-24T14:13:45.112-07:00great micro shots.

By the time I saw the pesky devil he had cleaned out both bee houses. First time that ever happened.

Fortunately they stay in the forest, at least as far as I know. Not sure cat poop sounds all the appetizing, but a slug's got to eat. - MargyPowell River Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580698518291129041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-32195318175900007372017-09-09T21:14:46.374-07:002017-09-09T21:14:46.374-07:00Before you decide check out the Banana Slug Mascot...Before you decide check out the Banana Slug Mascot for the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Of course, they may be the culpits for mowing down his lawn thyme!Lessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078250592783452327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35356005.post-32293103025533336422017-09-09T12:49:54.228-07:002017-09-09T12:49:54.228-07:00Okay, Margy, I've given it some thought, I'...Okay, Margy, I've given it some thought, I've tried to be open-minded, but I can't get myself to say I like slugs, even banana slugs, whose name sounds better than they look. So, do I get A for effort (I did try) or do I fail the slug test? (smiley face here)<br />Kay<br />An Unfittie's Guide to AdventurousKay L.
