I can't sleep
the dog snores beside me.

I'm planning out my garden in the silence.
peas, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots.
Shooting the moon for watermelons;
the kids aim high.

And now it's 2am and I'm yearning for rutabagas,
willow trees, and a tire swing.

1. Well....
Kick the dog out, have a drink, and work out plans for my back yard.

That ought to put you to sleep :)

6. My dear BarenakedLady!
I'm sorry you can't sleep...

But your garden sounds wonderful!

And I love your ideas for the willow trees, and the tire swing...

Those make the good memories for your children...

:hug:

10. Me either.
I'm probably going to be grumpy by the time I get off work today. Not that that's anything new.
