#WordlessWednesday Slimy Sally w/ Linky
Look what we found on the farm! I'm guessing (and hoping) the arrival of Slimy Sally the Salamander is a sign that Spring is actually here to stay?
I also learned that she (or he?) is not really slimy, but his/her skin secretes mucus to keep her/him moist when on land and maintain salt balance when in water. Hubs also told me that they secrete poison from their glands in their skin.
I need to keep on top of all these facts since we have a four year old who asks a lot of questions about everything!
Link up your Wordless Wednesday posts! We love checking them out and commenting!

About the Blog Author
City girl moves to the country, falls in love, and marries a farmer. She tries to incorporate her city ways with her new country lifestyle and blogs to keep in touch with friends, family & students who live far, far away :) Can this city girl go country? Watch as she learns all sorts of exciting things about life on the farm and in a small rural community. *UPDATE* We are now parents! Our baby girl was born on Nov. 11, 2008 (at 28 weeks gestation- 12 weeks premature, but she's quite the trooper)!!!

Deborah:
WOW! That is uncanny!! What are the odds?! :)
Tara:
Ohhhh! I wish you lived closer! Your boys would LOVE to explore our farm and our hardwood forests! Lots of neat stuff to discover! The salamander is kind of cool, but kind of gives me the creeps! I didn't realize some salamanders could live out of water like this! Had no idea we had salamanders here! LOL!
Not a huge fan of "things that creep," but my children would absolutely love it!!!!!
SO soooooo cool!!!!
I didn't know that about Salamanders at all, so cute!
Omg...that is sooo neat!! A little creepy for me hehe, but very cool.
ewwww!!! I'm definitely a subburbs girl! lol
Ekk! You take a picture, I would have run the other way :)
It this a case of "this pictures makes it larger than it appears"????
Yikes, I do hope Sally doesn't come visiting me!
Oh Gross! I'm not afraid of much but salamanders creep me out!!
Gorgeous. What fun to get to meet Sally up close. (And good on you for trying to stay ahead of the 4 year old question curve!)
