I have been working in the yard off and on all week - weather permitting. Helena has been my shadow - can't move without her. I've been digging weeds and crab grass along the fence so I can plant a flower bed. Since it rained some - the ground was damp - which made for easy pulling and a treasure trove of earthworms! I didn't draw attention to them - not my cup of tea. But of course, Helena's sharp eye found them. Had to put some dirt in a bucket so she could carry her new found "pets" around. When Rease got home from school, she joined the "search".
Rules though - couldn't dig the "babies" - only the "mommies" and they had to let them go at the end of the day. Now, just knowing those worms were in the bucket wasn't enough -nope. They just had to take them out, check on them, pet them and of course an occasional tug of war - which would end with someone's worm getting "teared apart"! Whoever said girls were afraid of worms - hasn't met these two!
