At a snail's pace
It is snail weather. Very quietly I slalom around all the snails like this lemon or grove snail.
I also find a garden snail on my path.
Whole slime trails are left behind.
Fortunately, there is more to be experienced.
Something is rustling through the grass. I take a step closer and there a common field grasshopper jumps out.
A helicopter whizzes by. I wait patiently for it to land.
It is a vagrant darter.
