The first signs of spring

Well, today I saw the first slugs of spring. Yes, the lowly slug has come out from its winter burrow and is now looking for love.

I found a small ooze of slugs (an ooze being the proper term for a group of slugs a la a murder of crows, etc.) under a piece of cardboard in the front yard. I had to flick them all into the front driveway as Julie would be rather ticked if they all started crawling out of the garbage can in the kitchen. Oh well. One day I'll grow a really big slug and keep it as a pet. Yeah!
