It has become one of those things that you think about but never follow through. Well this week my friend Sunny posted her play and it was such a striking image that it finally was the push I needed. So the above image is my play. If you go to Dolce's site you can follow the links to the other plays or find the original image to play along. Also check out kimi's Kreative homework this week.

Now it took the 18 year old to explain to me what the heck was going on on my own front walk. :) So I am laying on the walkway getting yucky slugs on my sweatshirt and my husband opens the door laughing. He says; you better get up, the neighbors are going to think I threw you out. Such support. (wink) So the top picture are the snails doing it. (after it was explained to me) The bottom picture is after they parted ways. I am assuming the one that went into his shell is the man snail. As it looked like he promptly fell asleep. LOL!! ahhhh... young snails in love. Click on the image for a bigger view. Now because I made you look at snail how about a freebi...
