~ Going Camping ~

Tomorrow, we're heading north to Lake Michigan one last time as a family this season.  It will soon be too cold to tent camp.  Well, too cold for these campers, anyway!  I don't mind temperatures in the upper 40's at night, but that is about as low as I go.  Perhaps if we had better sleeping bags? Ah, but that would require getting more stuff and I am totally against getting more stuff at this moment. 

 

With camping on my mind, I found these two cute and very true quotes about camping.

How is it that one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?  ~Author Unknown

Confession time here.  We have just mastered the art of starting a campfire after 8 camping trips this season, which is very frustrating! 

Campers: Nature's way of feeding mosquitoes.  ~Author Unknown

Last camping trip, we got chiggers again.  Oh, I hate chiggers!  I am hoping we won't be eaten alive by the bugs this weekend. 

Our tents set up at Springmill State Park over Labor Day

 

Have a great weekend!

Jen, I think you're a brave lady. I'm not a camper :-).
In an earlier post you had a butterfly you were'nt quite sure of....I think it's a great spangled fritillary. We sometimes see them here but not very often.
I hope your school year is going great! Julie

~ All About Me ~


Welcome to my happy little place to learn about the study of nature and all things beautiful. This is my personal nature journal, where I hope to record my fledgling journey as a naturalist and my appreciation for the Master Gardener's creation. I will also display some of my favorite paintings and list some of my favorite living books and quotes. I hope you will enjoy your visit.
