no nap!!!!

I have gone all week without a nap 

    When the morning help arrives, I was using that time to take a nap on the porch. 

     But when I do that, it makes for a very short afternoon.

    They leave at 11, waking me up as they go.

    After I shower, eat, read the paper, it's usually after 1 and halt the afternoon is gone.

    So this week, I mowed the yard one day, spread dirt one day and rode my bike 2 days.  I made much more productive use of my time.

    And I don't miss the naps!

    Now I have to try to get to bed earlier.  That a lot harder than it seems for me.

    Shorter sleep hours may be affecting my cognitive abilities.

    Twice today I put pants on, only to stick both legs in opening.

    I thought things were a little tight!

    Amazingly, I have not killed off any of my porch plants yet.  Usually by mid September I have lost interest in then, but. this year I have kept up watering  them.  I know the first frost is not too far off, and I have a rather ambitious plan for when that happens.

    I made a mistake this year.  Instead of buying potting soil, I bought a bag of top soil. That was not a good choice. 

    The dirt seems to harden and form a crust, which can't be good for the plants.

    So I plan on emptying all my pots, washing them, and storing them in places I can find them in the spring.

    I will take the dirt and continue to fill dips and holes in the field to make it smoother to mow.

    I started a photo book for my Key West pictures.  But I am having a hard time figuring out the Shutterfly format.  I can get the book, but I can't seem to place the pictures in the right spot.  I know it has to be easy, but I can't figure it out.

    I'm giving it one more try tomorrow.

    To be honest, I am not that patient to start with, so this has been hell for me.

Peace and Love
