We arrived home from church in a light drizzle. As I got out of the car I saw some-THING on the driveway. Immediately I recognized it as a snail! My first impulse was to go pick it up and chuck it into the street (don't hold that against me... I did grow up in the country).
But that cruel thought was immediately eclipsed by the thought...
"GO GRAB YOUR CAMERA AND A BATH TOWEL
AND CAPTURE THAT IMAGE!"
I wanted Gordon to come take a photo of me taking a photo of the snail, lying on my belly in my Sunday clothes... but he was too busy attacking the pot roast. Maybe next time.

Great photo of a gardens nemesis! And ya know what? I did not have the privilege of growing up in the country, but I throw those dastardly molluscan vandals IN THE STREET. And I gotta say...Gordon has left ME disappointed and wanting. THAT woulda been a GREAT shot. ;-) But, ya know what else? I don't have to see a picture of you laying out on the damp driveway on your belly in your Sunday clothes to believe it! =D
Snails... they're great with salt and butter!
