Things that go CRUNCH in the night

As a friend and I were leaving a Pampered Chef party this evening, we heard a distinct CRUNCH CRUNCH sound as we walked down the pathway from the hostess' home.

The hostess, being polite, walked us out with some brief conversation to go home on.

As she heard the crunching she commented, "Oh those snails. I guess they come out of the ground."

The leaves I thought I'd heard crunching were in all actuality snails being smashed beneath my feet.

I've taken a note from Missy in illustrating the event.

...I tiptoed the rest of the way down the pathway to my car.
