Hi Dee,
I’m on the move. I hadn’t planned to stop, but the snowdrops made me stay - a brave little crowd of twinkling blooms whispering, “Spring’s this way!”
A human paused beside me, watching my every move. I asked him gently, “Are you looking for spring too?”
He answered, “Hello, you!” His stripy scarf was dancing as I slid along the path, my heart‑shaped feelers lifted high to offer a small sign of love.
I headed to the blooms with all the grace a snail can manage. I breathed the cold‑sweet air and felt my spirits lift.
I carried on much lighter, now that winter’s far behind. I’m ready for the brighter days that follow Spring’s first signs.
Happy Spring,
Sammy Snail
