An Evening Worm Rescue

Number of worms rescued so far:  77

To avoid the killer heat I went down to the market after sundown.  On the way back I was surprised to see a large worm crawling down the middle of the sidewalk.


It looked slick and shiny, as if it had just crawled out of wet soil.  I put down my groceries, picked up the worm and placed it in the bushes by the side.  But as I picked up the grocery bags I noticed it crawling out of the bushes and heading back for the sidewalk!  I waited to see what it would do;  for a little while it crawled along the edge of the pavement, then finally re-oriented itself and started back toward the bush.
