    Their job is to clean the moss and other bits off the clock so it works again so that The Guardian of the clock is always time. Their motto: In order for it to Tik and Tok, we must get the green off the clock!

    Suggestion ... when you vacuum the "flocking" stretch a nylon sock over the vacuum to collect the flocking to use again. It would also prevent anything that you may not want disappearing into the depths of the vacuum. Have a better day!

    This turned out so charming!
    The top set of "tentacles" on a snail are actually their eye stalks. The lower set are their smell/sense organs. And if you ever find a snail with three sets, it's a carnivore and eats other snails. Herbivorous snails only have two sets. :)
