Re: What's blooming in your garden?

OK everybody. Get ready to have a laugh at my naivite. Is there really
such a thing as a snow flea? I ask because we just got back from
California where we visited my husband's uncle. Pete lived in Alaska for
15 years and had pictures of actual ice worms. So I know they are for
real. What about these fleas???
