What in the world!?

Today I spent the morning moving dirt, compost, and stuff around getting one of my build-ups ready to plant potatoes in. We are going to have a frost tonight, so I am going to do it tomorrow after the frost clears...

But while I was turning the compost, I found something... a worm. Big deal right?

This worm is 12 inches long and as fat as my THUMB!!!! We ended up finding 4 of them total in the compost pile (along with a bunch of little ones). It is so big, Rory is calling it a snake!
