Thinking Ahead

Day 75

Challenge: Get some chalk and work on a sidewalk near your home.

Looking back.

It was Sunday, May 13. Mother's Day!

Steve and I are in Mankato for a fine afternoon of lunch with Brian and Megan and Cooper [the sweet dog] and the great outdoors! We are at an Italian Bistro, Neighbors!

I spot this great looking rock on the parking lot

and get this real sense of its

snail worthy 

chalkiness!

Now . . .

I'm thinking ahead.

'Looking forward to some friends [M and B] joining me in our driveway to 

make amazing snail art someday soon!

Watch for more CHALK ART  . . . closer to home.

I mention Neighbors for another reason.

We ordered Mussels for our appetizer.

This is how it is described 

on the menu:

Mussels Bolognese
Steamed Prince Edward Island mussels with caramelized fennel, butter poached leeks, garlic and tomato bolognese sauce.

I do not enjoy clam chowder. 

I avoid oyster stews.

But clearly, my family

was savoring 

those little mollusks.

And . . . life is for living . . . 

and . . . what if I'm missing out on something?

And,

thinking ahead,

I imagined that some day

I could be, should be, trying snails

[escargo]

AND

that this

might be a nice

first step in that direction.

I think I can. I think I can!

I had two!
