Everything stops for...

...slugs. Apparently. They abandoned their balls and tents and all other games for a good 10 minutes to examine the slugs crawling on the toy watering can. I had to take the photo on zoom from the back door - if I got any closer they moved to evade capture! (The children that is, don't think slugs can move that fast!)

Another sign that spring is on its way (at last) - no need for coats to play outside today. Hooray!
