Taking the opportunity of a lovely sunny (but very cold) day, I

I suddenly thought all those lovely thin reddish worms that
were snug in the middle of the heap are now exposed to the
frosty air and if they do not get a move on could freeze.

Are worms susceptible to the cold and have I done a silly
thing!

Food for the birds (well, some, anyway)? Much needed in this cold
spell.

When I do this I watch the resident robin come hop,hopping up. It gives
me great pleasure.
