2 lizzards and a snail

 


Two  lizards and a snail sounds like movie title.

Snails have been part of our couple's family lore for at least nine years.

It started when I bought 50 snail shells to use as decorations. What I didn't realize, the snails were still in them until we saw them crawling up the front door.

We could have had them for lunch, we were in France, but instead we captured them and took them to the river to give them a second chance at life.

At least we thought we'd captured them all, but over the years one would make its appearance. on the patio, under a piece of furniture even in the kitchen as if it were volunteering to be the entré.

We began to point out snail art when we were out.

Friends took up the game and soon we were the recipients of some very nice snail-themed gifts.

We did not expect snails to follow us to our new home Geneva, but one has taken up its home under our patio table.

At the same time, two baby lizards have decided to parade across our patio. Sherlock found them barely worth a sniff.
