Good morning

Hank's Daily Chirp

Friday, September 25
Slugs and Snails Day
Mostly sunny! Hank says it is a beautiful dry morning in Raleigh. The high is 73 and the low is 52, so a light jacket at sunrise is smart. Perfect weather for your slugs and snails program at Yates Mill Park. The trails will be dry and the snails will be easy to spot.

Slug Spotter Day

Today you go to Yates Mill Park for a slugs and snails program, not preschool. Your challenge: find a silvery slug trail, count every snail you see, and be a gentle friend to each tiny creature. Watch with soft eyes and touch only if a grown-up says yes. L is for Leaf, and leaves are a snail's favorite snack. How many leaves can you spot on the way there?

Did you know?

A snail's tongue has thousands of tiny teeth, more teeth than a shark has. And slugs and snails leave a silvery slime trail that dries into a sparkly line, like a secret map of everywhere they have been.
