A lively vernal pool, full of algae and macroinvertebrates, both of which may eventually end up in the full round bellies of thousands of hungry tadpoles. Wowie, rain and mud and wildflowers! Come wander with me, and discover wildlife, wildflowers, and random weird stuff I think is cool. Also, help me save tadpoles from a shrinking puddle. Oh, and we can't forget the Color Game! Woo! Take my hand, and let's take a wonderful wonder walk, my fellow dreamer friend. Springtime Cr

Pastors informed of aliens and UFOs at secret meeting. In other words, evangelicals spin the 5/26 UFO file drop into the same old "aliens are demons" conspiracy.
