Mums and a Snail

My mother-in-law, June, gave me some lovely mums for my birthday. Tonight I got around to transplanting them in a slightly bigger pot and look what we found! A snail! Did he stay in that pot all the way from somewhere more moist like California?

Kurtis named him (or her) Hermie.

Hermie left an oozy slime trail on Kurt's hand while Kurtis discussed pool plans (as in billiards) with his brother Kelly. Hermie looks interested.

Nah, maybe he's more interested in the leaves.

It was quite a treat to find a snail in our pot of mums! As June said, "Mums from your mum." Ha ha! Thanks, Mum!

Slimed,
Dawn
