rainy days and worms

me in my rain gear
the worm in its nakedness
both dodging puddles 🦊❤️

“Why do worms come out of the ground when it rains?”, I asked myself as I was slogging through heavy morning rain in the dark. I Googled it and there are a number of theories, but still there is some mystery there. Then I Googled, “Why do I come out in rain to hike?” The response was, “That’s a good question. Why do you?”
