Snail explosion

After the recent rains, hundreds of snails emerged

I wondered where all the snails went. Actually, I’m still wondering where they were hiding, waiting for the rains before making a mass exodus. They were everywhere: crawling up the siding of the house (one snail made it up two stories), over the patio and the grass, and even on the dog droppings. Wha? Yup. My eldest found masses on the droppings as she was scooping. Interesting.
