These chunky snails arrived with the Romans or the Normans – Crispina Kemp
~~~
I’m a pretty snail,
I’m patient and persistent,
I do like my house.
I’m a pretty snail,
I am rather chunky
but that’s not a problem.
I’m patient and persistent,
I admit I’m slow,
but slow is often good.
I do like my house,
it’s an excellent place,
and I bring it with me!

Honeysuckle leaves – Crispina Kemp
~~~~~
dear mother nature, enjoy this place
see this lovely honeysuckle
it is a wildlife hotel
there’s bees and ladybirds
the scent is gorgeous
it’s nectar-rich
how happy
it is
ahh
she
smiles
with little
animals like
dormice and squirrels
it’s a wonderful world
and now a celebration
sun is above the equator
since twice a year it’s the equinox
~~~~~
spring and autumn equinox and thank you Willow for Mother’s Day.
