Meet my new little friend... the smallest snail ever! 😆 He is so cute!

I'm not well today. Headache, throatache, toothache, tummy ache, muscle ache, well you get the picture, it aches pretty much everywhere and my body shouted: Take it easy, we are not getting out of these pajamas today!
All I answered was: Thank God(dess)! And actually really enjoyed giving in to it. Except for the fact that it's been a week today, since I last went shopping and I'm pretty much out of everything. I had to get creative with scraps. For dinner I had thought to make pesto from basil that grows abundantly in the garden and rice noodles. Lucky I still had some nuts and olive oil.
So out in to the garden I went, right before dark. I find that one of the nicest moments to be out in nature. It was all a little wet as we had a nice end of summer/beginning of autumn rain on this warm day out here. All the plants looked positively radiant with life, so bright green they were. I picked the top leaves of each basil plant to keep it from making blossoms and going to seed, so that I will be able to enjoy the basil as long as possible. Back inside the house I started cooking when I spotted this little guy on the strainer in which I washed my basil.

He almost had me mistake him for a lentil when he still was sitting on he strainer and I touched him to see if it really was a mini snail as I thought he was, he pulled his little body in his shell and I thought, nah It's a lentil. But when I picked him up he poked his head out again and began making his journey over my hand...

Look at him! Isn't he the cutest ever! He just cracks me up with his tiny feelers on his way to where ever he thinks this journey will take him. Everything works perfectly, a tiny little being, the size of a lentil...

He wasn't scared, he was brave, when I touched him he wouldn't pull back anymore. And he moved fast.. for a snail. Hey little guy, hold still so I can take a picture! 😉

See him go! So determined! 😆

Almost at the knuckle now...

Around the bend...

And there we are!

I decided to put him on a strawberry plant as I thought he would like it there.
Darkness was coming and I was getting really hungry, in fact my rice noodles had cooked to pulp by then.
Oh well...it was worth it.

I hope something lit up your day like the little snail did mine.

Lots of Love Clara @wombloom
