Worms

Last Sunday when we came home from church there was a large number of worms on the driveway. Our driveway is three cars wide next to the garage and it goes all the way to the front door steps, so it's not the best place for a worm to be. Needless to say, a lot of the worms were drowned in pavement puddles or flattened by car tires. However, there were a few hardy survivors and I asked the children to go out with me and rescue them. My perennial bed needs worms, so this was a win-win. Unfortunately, all three children turned out to be very squeamish worm hunters. None of them would rescue large worms (the best kind for a garden!) and they weren't that keen on collecting small ones, either. Bummer. I thought Viva at least would be a good helper. We collected a few worms.
