Last night we had thunder storms, hail and lots of rain. All is good. The rain brings out the night crawlers...fish bait. We were out with flash lights picking them off the ground. No digging for our fish bait. Dad started these years ago by releasing some Night Crawlers from Illinois. They have a flat tail, the only way to distinguish them from the natives. We also have native cane worms, night crawlers, wigglers (our name for them) and red worms.
When it rains, you walk softly with a flash light. You have to move fast to grab these before they quickly retreat to their safe spot.
We have enough for two or three meals...gotcha! The worms will be used to catch fish and we will eat those. Of course, I had to write a silly poem...
Last Night
Lightning flashed
Thunder rolled
Ate Chocolate Pie
Hail did blow
Ground's soaked
Worms crawled
Caught fish bait
Couldn't get them all
