That reminded me of something. Grandma and I would go out into the orchard where the brooder house was, at night with flashlights and look for earthworms. Big squishy worms that you had to try to grab before they scooted back into the ground. She kept them in a coffee can of rich black soil covered with damp newspaper. That can was kept in an old refrigerator that was in the old wash house between the house and the orchard. Apparently most of what she was fishing for had a taste for them.
Geez, I hadn't thought about that in decades.
I'm your huckleberry.
