We’re taking the kids fishing tonight. But rather than head to the local bait shop, I took the kids out to our compost pile in the back. There’s a load there that’s been cooking for about 2 years now and I had a feeling it was ripe with worms. Plus, with all the rain last night, if they were there they’d be that much easier to find.
Well, I literally could have just grabbed handfuls of compost and thrown them in a bucket. Never mind the rain, the compost was literally crawling with worms.
The kids were squealing with delight and marveling at nightcrawlers the size of my fingers. It was probably there most fun 10 minutes of the day so far. Or at least their second most fun 10 minutes- the Wife gave them bubblegum bubble blowing lessons earlier today.
We threw a couple of big ol’ grubs in the bucket for good measure. The fish will eat well tonight.
