The rain and the worms that show themselves

It has been raining ALOT in Virginia these past 2 weeks. My husband laughingly says that even the worms are beginning to drown. At my house, I think every worm in the ground is on my sidewalk and driveway. Unfortunately this leads to smooshed worms also YUCK! My 5 yr old daughter finds them quite fascinating though and enjoys watching them slide along. I think about the sweet little Robin who has been showing himself lately around my house. I'm sure its only for the delicassies, but he brings a smile to my face as I hear him singing his sweet song. I'm reminded now that Spring is upon us. I begin feeling myself become lighter, as I enjoy the sunshine more and my time outside. Cabin fever is slipping away now.
