“There is no bad weather, just bad clothing.” Every 3rd Sunday of the month we are going to be testing the limits of that saying, taking in what the outdoors has to offer, even in the unique and unpredictable weather conditions.
Today, quite noticeable, were a bounty of slugs. Slugs were crawling across the trail, creeping along logs, wriggling along the Swedetown Creek, and a cornucopia (what you call a group of slugs) was found ploding up Sisu Hill. What they liked about the Sisu Hill remains to be discovered. Any experts out there? What do slugs like about that sandy spot?
Many other treasures were discovered on the trail today as well. Of note were the ferns, horsetails, and wildflowers. Common enough, maybe, but if you look hard enough, you may discover things you've never noticed about these plants before. As E.E. Cummings said, "Now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened."
Join us, won't you, for our next KNSC Nature Journal Club. It is July 16th from 3-5pm. More details found here.
