Who witnessed the Perseid meteor shower last week? Joey might not have, but he does have a great story to tell of one he did see in this week’s Life Lived Outside. 🌠💫🌌

I tried to spot a meteor the other night. The Perseid meteor shower was putting on its annual show, and the local news was saying we were in a “great” area for viewing. Actually, remembering that there was a meteor shower was somewhat accidental. Our dog Pearl woke up in the middle of the night and was tap dancing around our floors, so at two in the morning I took her outside. As I looked up at the clear sky, I remembered that the meteor shower was happening that evening, and it was supposed to be at its peak around that time.

So I found the darkest spot I could and tilted my head back. Then I waited.

The problem, of course, was that I was still surrounded by civilization. There was just too much light pollution. Streetlights, porch lights, houses, and that general glow that hangs over everything at night. I may have seen one meteor streak across the sky, I’m not completely sure. It could have been a meteor, or it could have been my eyes really wanting to see one.

As I sat in the backyard, willing my eyes to see through the haze, I was taken back to a time when I lived in Georgia and got to see the Leonid meteor shower…

Kerby’s Nursery just got an upgrade — a Treasure Tower! 🪎

This multi-level setup features a 65’ panning sluice, 5 waterfalls, and themed mining rough. Choose your mining mix to reveal emeralds, tumbled gemstones, fossils, arrowheads, and other sparking surprises! 💎✨🔮

This unique experience blends learning with play, as it encourages kids to identify minerals, compare colors and textures, and explore natural history in a way that feels whimsical. Perfect for weekend outings, birthday treats, and seasonal visits! ☀️

Here’s how the Treasure Tower works:

1. Pick your bag of treasure. The bigger the bag, the bigger the treasure!
2. Dump your mining rough a little at a time in your mining tray.
3. Place the tray in the stream.
4. Swish and shake the tray as the water reveals your findings.
5. Collect, identify, show off, repeat! ✨

What treasures you might uncover🔮:
•Amethyst
•Arrowheads
•Crystals
•Tumbled Gemstones
•Fossils
•Emeralds
•Shark Teeth

To purchase mining rough, stop by the Farmhouse and pick your favorites or give your name to the cashiers if you purchased online.

See you at the tower!

I just figured something out, and I’m not sure how it took me almost 50 years. Today, August 13th (8/13), is my half birthday, but what I never noticed is that it is also 813 Day in honor of Tampa’s primary area code.

You’d think after nearly five decades around Tampa and having had a variety of 813 phone numbers, I might have connected those two dots before now. Nope. Apparently, I’ve been celebrating my half birthday all these years without realizing it lands on the day Tampa celebrates itself.

Does anyone else celebrate their half birthday? OK, I don’t really, but for some reason I always note it, and one year I even convinced my mother-in-law that I needed a half birthday cake. Admittedly, that had to do with an exceptional bakery in Georgia and was more about eating cake than celebrating a milestone.

I’m going to use this realization as an excuse to celebrate both! Because 813 is more than an area code. It’s a little piece of identity. It’s Tampa, Ybor City, the Hillsborough River, and the bay. It’s Cuban sandwiches, deviled crab, palm trees, giant live oaks, and afternoon thunderstorms that show up the minute you decide to work outside…
