I found something new in my garden last week. Normally one wouldn’t be happy to find a snail in the garden. Read the story to find out why I am.
I’d like to introduce you to Stanley Snail. I found him in my garden last week. He is beautiful, but he is a snail. I was worried about what he would do to my garden.
Stanley eased my fears by assuring me that he does not eat plants. He is a garden protector.
“Not only do I not eat garden plants, I do eat garden pests.” Stanley explained.
Stanley wandered through the garden while he chatted with me. Examining the early spring plants.
“I also help out the small animals that are good for your garden like the spiders, lady bugs, and worms.”
“I keep an eye on things and let you know when something is going wrong,” continued Stanley. “I hope that you will let me stay.” I told Stanley that he was welcome to stay with me. Gardeners can always use a bit of help.
I hope that you enjoyed meeting Stanley. He is a needle felted creation. If you would like to see more of my work, you can do so here www.woodlandwhimsy.com It has photos and links to all of my pages.
Awwww, Stanley. How could you ever resist this guy?
I am jealous that he lives with you, and not me.
I am also jealous that you already have flowers blooming in your garden π
I am glad I have flowers blooming. They were a bit late this year. I hope you get flowers soon. You do live somewhere that the cold lingers.
Stanley is wonderful. I like his story. He’s very cheerful and fun.
Your flowers are so pretty. Like little smiles greeting you for Spring. π
Stanley is such a good garden guardian, and so cute, too! ^.^
