So, without thinking, I left the worm house where you see it in the picture instead of putting it in the shade. A number of worms tried desperately to escape from the heat, only to dehydrate and die on the pavement (Out of the frying pan into the fire?). But there's still plenty in the house. You can also tell it's hot in there for them because the worms were all concentrated along the edges. Apparently, when it's cold out, they'll move toward the middle because it's warmer there. That is, if it ever gets cooler here.
But it may happen! Today was the first day where the high was below 90F since we moved here! If we can get below 30C, I'll be a happy camper.
