Mantids hatched this morning, in a large glass jar in Nuxie's 'workshop/office' next to her aquarium. I woke to see: hundreds of 'em. So I rushed outside with the jar and dumped them onto strawberry plants, blueberries, grapes, some near my new pear tree, everywhere I could. Then did my best to kind of separate them so they could each have a little bit of space to themselves. They will eat their siblings if no other food source is available!

The 'blue mystery snails' in Nuxie's tank copulated a few days ago, much to her disgust. I saw the egg clutch floating in the tank, with guppies and tetras nipping at it a bit. Nux said she saw baby snails, but I figured they would probably all get eaten by fish and frogs. Today I couldn't locate any of the young snails...

Today, San has a recital (piano and vioin) followed by a 'Doctor Who' themed birthday party.
Soothesayers record at Sprout City next Saturday.
JP graduates from high school on June 9th, he's been accepted to PNCA. We've made all the necessary deposits. There is some doubt whether he will pass his math class... if he doesn't, he'll have to attend summer school. (groan) He should be getting a job and saving up for transportation &/or art supplies....
