Yes, I do think that most of the people around here are convinced I’m crazy.  You should have seen the looks I got from a few cars that passed me tonight when I was picking up night crawlers in the alley.  Hey, I’m a gardener.  I also have fish and bullfrogs that love worms.  Who am I to pass by the hordes of huge night crawlers that were wandering out onto the street because we had rain?

     One person understood.  A woman about my age pulled her car up even with me and rolled down her window.  “For your gardens right?”

     “Well, yes.  And for the frogs and fish—free food you know.  Commercial Koi food costs plenty.”

     She pointed back down the street from the direction she’d come.  “I saw a bunch of huge ones back there.”

     “Thanks.”

     She waved and headed on her way.  I went looking for more night crawlers.

     Goliath the bullfrog was pleased with my midnight snack offerings.  Although, at one point, he thought my index finger was more food.  Ouch!  I actually bled.  Ungrateful sod.

     The Koi were happy too.  I only gave them a few worms and then the rest went into the garden.
