so this morning i went for a little run around our townhouse, and on my way back i was shocked to find this little snail... well not so little for a snail but it was exactly what you would expect a snail to look like. strange for what i think about when i think about texas, but it's true i guess: things are always bigger in texas. it had the little antena thingies popping out of it's head, a perfect little shell and it had the perfect little tail and it was just wandering around on the sidewalk.
that was the end of my thinking about it. then i went to work.
when i got out of work tonight, i asked erik how his day was. he responded with this story: well, i was walking to check the mail today and i looked down and there was this snail! (my shock! because i never told him about my snail story even though i meant to!) his story continued, he ran back to the townhouse to grab the camera. who sees a snail in texas?! and apparently as he was walking he kept hearing this crunching noise which he didn't think about until he saw this snail.
the crunching? baby snails! the place was crawling with them. all over the place.
not only on the ground either, THEY WERE CRAWLING UP THE WALLS!! as he was walking to the car to come get me, they were falling down on him like rain!
unbelievable! i was no joke, shocked by this story. who gets rained on by snails?
so, when we got home i didn't really think about it much except for the fact that erik kept looking around. they were no where to be found. absolutely no snails anywhere! i started to question whether or not him staying home was a good thing....
and then just as i opened the door, there they were! three itty bitty snails with perfect spiral shells!
who would of thought?!?!?! snails in texas.
