For a long time they looked at the river beneath them, saying nothing, and the river said nothing too, for it felt very quiet and peaceful on this summer afternoon.

Pond In a Jar
We've got a mini pond in our living room. All it takes is large clean glass jar, some pond water and bottom scoopings, and some pond critters. We've got tiny pond snails, water boatmen, a water scorpion, a snail leech, and a minnow.
The snails are pretty tiny, and the leech hides itself well. We know its there because we saw it in the critter collection box right before we dumped it in the jar, but we haven't seen it since. Maybe it is waiting until the snails get larger.

How is the snail leech getting along with the pond snails?
I'm sure they're getting along swimmingly.
Heh. Heh. Heh.

Too cool!
