As I walked down to the postboxes to retrieve my mail the other day, I noticed that hundreds of desiccating worms had been washed into the gutter by a recent downpour.
I eat meat, wear leather shoes and go after the bunnies eating flowers in my yard with a BB gun like Elmer Fudd or Mr. McGregor...so why do I feel sad for these worms?
Now you'll have me checking the pavement for these poor silhouettes...
ReplyDeleteBecause they are so helpless? I pick them up. Seeing a worm out of the soil is like seeing a fish out of water.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, these invertebrates were beyond rescue.
DeleteYou're a better woman than I am. I would have been careful not to step on them and I appreciate them in the soil but the bunnies would have received more of my sympathy!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be glad to know, then, that the Easter Bunny has full immunity.
