    Spring on the Bayou and a CONTEST!

    Happy Spring everyone!  It seems down the bayou that we jump straight from winter into glorious spring almost overnight.  Last week, while walking my front yard, I noticed all these little insignificant wildflowers that are only seen once–before the grass starts getting cut weekly. After that, they don’t get big enough to bloom. I thought…

    Marsh fishing and another first!

    The only thing that can ruin a fishing trip in the marsh besides rain is too much wind coming from the wrong direction.  The NW wind, along with the falling tide, pushed the water out of the marsh way too fast.  There were places we had to use the trolling motor to get in and…

    Don't you just love a good mystery?

    Not a murder mystery, silly.  A plant mystery–my favorite kind.  I passed by this plant, see, that had these big leaves, see (James Cagney voice.  Anybody know who that is?) and thought silently to myself, see, that I didn’t recognize those leaves, see? You have to remember (back to my own self now) that flood…
