This morning we heard the engines start up and new they were on their way to our house. James had been monitoring the progress of the landscape people as they came down our street and we knew they would make it to our house today. James was very concerned for the safety of our monster snails, so today we "harvested" them!
Before
After
Hopefully it grows in quickly.. this is pretty ugly all cut down!
James and Daniel searching as quickly as they could for the big snails before the workers made it to our yard. They had already started on one side, but there was still time!
These are the snails that we found, 2 small ones and 4 big ones.
So, we made a new home for them for a little while, until our front yard grows back enough to protect them!
James giving them plenty of leaves and protection to eat and to hide in!

You know, not many people would remember the snails in this time of crisis, but I'm sure the snails are thankful.
Oh, P.S. Chris' birthday is August 18 - So, girl or boy, if it's born on that day, I think you should name it after him . . . Christopher or Christina Junior, how sweet. :) (Ha, ha) Congratulations!!
