This morning I woke up thinking of snails. I'm not sure why. I certainly haven't seen a snail in ages. But there you have it. Snails. So perhaps when I should have been getting Keegan's lunch ready, I was drawing snails. I do take partial responsibility for those mornings when we miss the bell. It all comes down to my inability to focus on what needs to be done and instead do what I want to do.
Since I believe snails are hermaphrodites, I'm not trying to make any point about male/female priorities in a relationship. I just thought it would be cute. If I'm wrong about the hermaphroditic snails, please don't tell my invertebrate zoology lab instructor. The man still scares me as much as I admire him.
Wishing everyone a small moment during the day in which to do what you want to do.
What a nice gathering of thoughts and images. Looks like a potential children's book. Who needs lunch when you can have a story? :)
ReplyDeleteI love snails (but not to eat), yours are very jolly to see.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh those are cute *grin*. Who could think about making lunch when you are busy creating adorable snails! I just love stopping by your blog. It always brings a smile to my face :) Love the bookmark to brighten up your vampire book to *grin*
ReplyDeleteTara, I drew a snail on my picture with Olivia just on Tuesday! Yours are way cuter. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteCute Tara...really cute!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the snails. You should read The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Tova Bailey, I loved it and learned a lot about snails. Your snails are adorable by the way.
ReplyDeleteI love that last sentence. And, your snails are cute : )
ReplyDeleteThose drawings are so sweet, love the second one. And I'll echo dmoms above - that last sentence definitely made me smile. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSNAILS! so neat and slow paced.
ReplyDeletei thought i'd share with you my note on the topic.

as I recall from my university invertebrate zoology days.... snails are hermaphrodites, but don't quote me. Most everything from those learning days long, long ago has since exited my brain.
