WORMS! Glorious WORMS!

I planted some petunias yesterday evening but didn't have enough potting soil. My first thought: gotta get some soil when we go to Wal-Mart tomorrow. Second thought: Silly me! I have a compost pile! I can get it for free from there!

So this morning I go to rake the big stuff off the top to get to the lush dark organic stuff on the bottom and what do I find?!?! Worms! Fat ones! Lots of 'em! Oh man I was so excited. I even woke C up to tell him. His response was less than enthused. When I started the pile there weren't many and whenever I'd come across any while I was digging in the yard, I'd transplant them to the compost pile. And for those of you who don't know, worms are very important in breaking down the debris. Woo! Here are some pictures:

The compost pile in all its glory (it's actually kind of ghetto--I used leftovers from the fence).

Two wormies

Yum!
