Watching Snailey is so relaxing, their movements are so delicate, deliberate and smooth. #silentSunday #snaileySunday #meditateWithSnailey

Snailey does love it when their terrarium gets new soil. They are on a cuttlebone, good for absorbing calcium to grow a strong shell! #snaileySunday #silentSunday #meditationWithSnailey #landSnail #theyThem

Snailey loves dandelion. If I get it farm-fresh, it still has parts of the root on and will grow in the terrarium. Snailey estivates when it’s hot out so we haven’t been treated to a quiet meditation in a few weeks. #snaileySunday #silentSunday #meditateWithSnailey #dandelion #farm #tkaronto #toronto #urban #urbanFarms

I had planned on posting Snailey news weekly but snails do Very Little except live A Long Time in captivity (15-25 years). #silentsunday #snaileysunday

When someone finally mentioned Snailey was in the lettuce, we went back to find they were missing. A frantic few minutes later Snailey was located (on the move) a number of feet away. #silentsunday #snaileysunday #landsnail #theythem #snailsarefasterthanyouthink

Omg! I forgot to post about Snailey. I know you’re all on the edge of your seats for #snaileysunday. I didn’t know Snailey came in on the lettuce but the family noticed. No one told me but left the lettuce on the counter. Told me hours later and we went back to the lettuce and Snailey was nowhere to be found…

Snailey arrived one day on a lettuce leaf during the covid lockdowns. #rainy #snaileysunday #snail #snaileysstories

Slow and steady #snaileysunday #snail #schnecke

It’s surprisingly challenging to get a good photo of snailey. They move faster than you think. #snaileysunday #silentsunday

The story of how Snailey O’Snailey arrived in our lives is wacky and maybe I’ll post more. But for today this wee shelled gastropod has taught us so much about slowing down, about gender, about just being. #snaileysunday #theythem
