Presbyopia Creeping Up On Me

A welcome (always) day of rain the other day.  While on a walkabout around the wet neighborhood I came upon this sight on the sidewalk.


Without much ado I started to dig a little hole in the rain-softened earth with my knife to deposit the worm in,


only to realize after a second look that the "worm" was a twig.  Dang this "age-related farsightedness".

Number of worms rescued:  still 71


EDIT:  Today I came upon another worm -- a real worm this time;  it was writhing as if in torment on the sunny dry sidewalk, so into a damp shady hole it went.  A job well done.
