A Snail's Pace






S (L)O (W) , a snail appears on the window this morning, and before I can realize how F A S T it will move, it has moved at least 15 inches ! So, now I must photograph the process. Even I AM wise enough to not try and get video. (you're welcome) So here is a half hours worth of progress by our new pet Snail Bait.
First he crosses the window, then in reaction to the camera flash (even snails have papperazzi), he went down to the porch.. then across, in a zig zag pattern (like he was dodging bullets, yet slower) across the porch and then down the side.
Even as I type this I do not realize the looniness of this morning's fun.
But it could be cuz I'm listening my new tunes :
No One's Gonna Love You by Band of Horses
Hang Me Up to Dry by Cold War Kids
Lake Michigan by Rogue Wave
Shake It by Metro Station Shake It

I'm beginning to regret I brought up that blog every day in November challenge. I'm sure it isn't wise for me, as a rookie blogger, to cast any aspersions on your blog content. But, still - tracking the progress of a snail across your porch?! And with photos, no less.
Guess I can consider the options for blog topics to be pretty much wide open. Thanks

I am being forced to turn to Joan's blog as a source of entertainment, although looking at this one is irresistable...kind of like a bad car wreck..I can't look away.
