So, for her birthday this year Tootle Bug wanted to go camping, back to Manatee Springs. It ended up being kind of a whirlwind trip…..here’s the low down.
There were boys on pink bikes.
And critters visiting in the night.
Behind our site was the Great Green Sink.
An iPhone made them think, think, think!
And Little Man got worn out riding his bike.
There was “Let’s jump in!” followed by “psych!”
Nephews were tossed into the waters.
And there were lots of poses with daughters.
This one enjoyed being tossed around.
These two enjoyed acting like a clown.
A store-bought cake was just the thing.
And the guys tried to declare “I’m King!”
It was fun.
It was happy.
Yes, I know my poem is sappy.
Happy Birthday Tootle Bug!

The last few nights I have had insomnia. Blech! I haven’t been writing because I feel like I haven’t had much to say. My brain is all jumbled up by sleep deprivation and headaches related to sleep deprivation.
Sleep deprivation often makes me feel rather…slow, mentally. I am craving sleep.
I have several things I want to share with you, but I am going to wait to post them until I can think a little more clearly.
Oh, and by the way, I did not get my garden planted today. My loverly small town does not have ANY good seeds available right now. However, I did find an interesting website that sells heirloom seeds. I am toying with the ides of ordering from them. I have always wanted to try my hand at seed saving, so perhaps this is my chance.
Now, off to try to capture some Zzzzz’s. Wish me luck!

All right all my southern states readers, what’s important about September 1st? If you answered “The beginning of backpack safety month” you would be right, but not relevant.
How about “Libya’s Revolution Day?” Again, correct, but irrelevant.
If you shouted “Conway Twitty’s birthday!” you would be right, but really, really, irrelevant :)
September first is the day that you should be putting seeds or young plants in your garden! Remember?
My poor garden has been sorely neglected this summer. Something about…not feeling well??? Yeah. So, when I realized that the first was only two days away, I headed out to the garden. This is the sight I was met with…
take a deep breath, it will get better :) right after is gets worse.
Boy did I have my work cut out for me!!! Isn’t it amazing how 8 weeks can change a garden???
Fortunately, it didn’t take me too long to get things looking much….tamer.
Now, it is all ready for some fresh dirt, and my fertilizer….and then some seeds!
By the way….
Did you feel it? In the air this morning was the distinct feel of FALL! It’s coming guys and girls, it’s coming! I love, love, love, the first feel of Fall. I makes me want to get my hands in the dirt, pull weeds, and plant tiny seeds. All the while anticipating the fruits (or veggies) of my labors.
Ahhh, Fall.
