Bounty Hunter

 Drastic times call for drastic measures.  Last week a malicious gang of snails went marauding around my garden and selectively devoured the hollyhocks that I'd carefully sprouted and had just planted in our flowerbeds.  I've called in a team of bounty hunters whom I've offered to pay dearly for every snail they capture and deport out of our garden...

Wow, those are some incredibly juicy looking snails. Thought about some garlic and butter?

Any thoughts of garlic or butter disappeared as soon as we tried to remove the slime off of B's arm. Water didn't work. Soap didn't work. Vinegar? Uh uh. We ended up scrubbing him with a brush and Kirschwasser! :-)

I'd be happy to ship a bucket of fresh escargot your way if you'll take it!

catching snails used to be my child duty too. I fed them to the neighbours chickens

Love that pic of your son facing the camera. Too beautiful. His good looks really stand out in this shot and he looks so beautiful when I display him life size. He is always good for kisses when I look at him.
