The emergence of earthworms signals the arrival of spring.

Earthworms peeking out of the ground are like little messengers telling us the moment nature is regenerating. At this time of year, they are released from the quiet winter and become active, lured by the warm sunlight. When you see them, you can feel the breath of life even in the midst of your everyday life.

Why not enjoy the arrival of spring from your heart as you watch the earthworms till the soil? You may be able to live each day in harmony with the rhythm of nature.
