Trip Report: Iowa City, Iowa
 
j/k. I wouldn't subject you.

Just know we awoke to the sound of many robins singing. You know why they were singing? Worms. Thousands of worms, worms, worms on the sidewalks. A worm obstacle course.

Then, later that day, crispy worm bodies. Thousands of crispy worm bodies.

Lol! Worm carcasses and happy birdies!

We ran through that yesterday. It was kind of gross. The thought that went through my head was, "thank God I'm not a Buddhist because I am probably killing a lot of worms right now."

It makes me think of a slip and slide.

That would have been my worst childhood nightmare coming true!

And here I was expecting to hear about the weather in Iowa.....

During this winter's wet weather, we were "fortunate" enough to never have a problem with ants in the house. I say "fortunate" because instead we got worms. WORMS!

I'll take ants.

Not too many worms here in Salt Lake... yet.

Worms in the house..... *thud*

OMG OMG OMG I would die.

True worm story:
Spoiler:
My late beagle Suzy, when she was a puppy, once ate every worm she saw on a walk after a rain. There was no stopping her. Believe me, we turned around for home as soon as she started.

We get home. The family is sitting down to dinner. Suzy begins to retch and retch and ... up come a couple of worms, up come some more. And some of them were wriggling.

I pointed to the mess and hissed to my kids, just like the Wicked Queen in "Snow White" did with the hunter. "Get them!" I said. "Clean that up!"


You're welcome. :)

"There were worms
On the hills
But I never heard them squishing . . ."

Iowa, get it?

There are blocks on my morning dog walk that are a long hopscotch course between the worm bodies and goose splatterings from the flyovers. Could be some egret and heron poop mixed in. Mostly goose.

My labrador used to have a fondness for snails. For some reason, he gave them up.
