Worms at work?

Is it just here but there seem to be more worm casts.  Looks like the worms are working hard to keep the soil aerated.

Worms are wonderful creatures.
They do all my digging!
Good gardening!

I guess they are trying to drain their burrows, its well wet and the temperature remains relatively high for this time of year. Its always sad to find drowned "friends" in puddles from which they have failed to escape and have simply diluted.

This weather will be giving the worms a hard time, but the extra worm casts are probably just because they are being forced nearer the surface.
They would normally be doing their magic deep down and out of sight.
If there's nothing wrong with me, maybe there's something wrong with the universe!
