We came home one evening
from playing in the park
and turned on the lights
to chase away the dark.
Where the dark went
I could not explain,
but the very next evening
there it was - again!
♡
Sending you my yuletide wishes
for a holiday fun and delicious.

all the best to you. happy festive season!

ReplyDeleteI think there was an error in my comment ... let's go again ...
ReplyDeleteI love this little snail!!! What a scare I got when it dawned! My husband stops the car to cross some animals like turtles, and on walks he always stops to cross small animals like snails, caterpillars, spiders ... I loved this little snail and its small, but long (for him) story
Let there be light. =) Such a sweet little house.
