Do you rush? I know I always have ten times the number of goals that I can actually accomplish in a day. I’d like to be this snail, slowly wandering through a garden of freshly rained on flowers.

I’ve seen a few now, mostly down by the water. It won’t be long until they reach inland.

I dread the sound of crunching skeletons underfoot but it’s unavoidable when there are so many fishflies/june bugs that there’s nowhere to step. Though since the weather’s so different this year maybe the number of bugs will be different too?
