The Mighty Slug

In the great Pacific Northwest we like to talk about the things that make our area unique. Some say it the great evergreen forests or the San Juan Islands sparkling on Puget Sound. Others may talk about the rain and our over reliance on coffee. A certain generation might feel that the Seattle grunge scene was what defined the region.

But what few will mention and many of us secretly suspect is the lowly slug is the true king of our region. They are the subject of countless hours of garden warfare, furious hand-scrubbing to get rid of their slime, and cruel child-hood dares. Hot dog anyone? Sorry Nathan.

Little Girl On a Big Stump

The theme day for today is BIG, and if there's one thing the pacific northwest has, it's big trees. This one, alas, only used to be a big tree... now it's a big stump. Still, it was big enough that it just about gave me a heart attack when I came out of our camper to find my not-quite-3-year-old on top. A big stump, but small enough for an ambitious little girl to climb! She did need help down, however.
