I loved that article so much I photocopied it at the library. I think our crabs must think they're in heaven b/c they don't have to form shell lines anymore. There are just shells everywhere for them now. We have the lucky ones.

Glad you liked that article, Emma.

That was very interesting Carrie! Thank-you, I feel always feel sorry for the crab first "evicted" but I guess it's natures way. By the way, I'm glad to hear you are on the road to recovery from your migraines - I know what it's like to be sick for a long time.

Hi, Ginger! Glad you enjoyed the article. I couldn't do an article like that b/c I'd be trying to rescue that first evicted crab. No way I could "just let nature take its course," as they say. Thank you for welcoming me back... really appreciate it. Is the little crab that is your avatar one of your own?

Yes, that's Polly on my avatar - it was a rainy day, so I did some photos of everyone
