Issue 43 "Regretfully, people who don't garden say gardeners are peculiar, so I would only tell this story to all of you. One day I had a doctor appointment, and it was pelting with rain. As I got out of my car, I noticed the parking lot was almost covered with wet stranded earthworms, which were being squashed by the dozen every time another car drove in. I started to collect them, filling all the empty coffee cups from the floor of my car. I collected and collected-- until I was soaked through, and almost oblivious of the people in smart suits, carrying umbrellas, who looked at me strangely as they passed. No one offered to help. I don't think my doctor understood, either, when I begged her to organize the building to come out and save worms. She nodded sweetly, but said she would start the rally later. Readers of GreenPrints, you would have come. Yes, you would." --Diana Wells, "Give an Earthworm a Ride" |
