Gurgle Snail
This summer we discovered an amazing blue fish gurgle pitcher.
It brings day-changing joy in the simple filling of a water glass--
a wonder-filled balance of form, function . . . and FUN!
Think low hollow gurgles and an occasional random splash!
[I will not use the word "spit" although it is a better fit.]
You can often hear it across the table and sometimes across the room!
The act of pouring additionally allows you to feel the "rumble" of its gurgles!
Does the water taste colder and sweeter?
Indeed, it does!
It is a multi-sensory experience that we love to share.

Tonight I was saying my goodbyes [long overdue] to a miniature snap dragon that spent the summer blooming in the little white snail pot. [See July 3rd post titled Today.]
I bid the greens farewell as they began their journey back to the earth and washed the remaining soil from the pot.
As I put it aside to dry the snail whispered in my imagining.
"I gurgle."
Hmm . . . !?!?
I filled it with water, tipped some out, and then leveled it again.
A tiny clear bubble rose to the surface and burst in a delightful little sound that I can't describe in a word.
And again!
There is no rumble . . . and you must lend an ear. But yes, it gurgles!
