Odds and Ends
My super-busy season has begun, and I’m so busy trying to keep up with everything that I’ve just not had time to write. However, today it’s raining, and now that I have some time to sit at my desk and write, my creative mojo is hiding from me. Not one single interesting or inspirational topic to…
Whoopie Pie Cake
Whoopie Pie Cake. It sounds strange, I know. And of course, there’s a back story, but I can’t lay claim to having named this sinfully rich dessert concoction. But doesn’t it look delicious? If you’ve spent any time on this blog, you already know that I’ve always marched a little out of step with current…
Fishy things!
There were several title options for the post. And there are so many things I’d like to include, or should I break things up and spread things out over time? First off, I owe somebody an engraved Community Coffee Scoop. Since there was no real winner of the on-the-sly-comment-contest I ran last week, I guess…
Bayou Dularge Third Annual Trash Bash
has kept me busy for the past few days, interfering with my blogging–both reading and posting. Trash is trash, but our bayou banks have more than last year due to the storm surge of Ike last fall. The fast-flowing water carries stuff for miles and miles, which often stops once it hits a high enough…
Creepy! But, it’s a good photo.
Food Chain. Momma Nature’s sacred circle of life.
I luv the coming autumn season when spider webs dripping jewels of dew sparkles in the early morning sun.
So the banana spiders are out already? Must be time for fall!
Yes, Kim, isn’t it amazing? One morning this week I walked outside to the absence of humidity and the sky had a green aura like after a hurricane. I sensed the earth had tilted slightly; and now sunrise is after 6 a.m., not before.
Ooooh, I know they are necessary in the great scheme of things – but I HATE spiders! My sympathies are all with the locust. They have such a short life anyway, seems terrible to shorten it further!
I look forward to the first song of the cicada high in the live oak trees signaling the onslaught of summer; and then before you know it, the banana spider webs extend between the branches of the same oak trees, trapping the beautiful cicadas for food.
Noisy little buggers !!
One of my lovely memories of my indoor Siamese centers around a locust. She was sitting on the second floor balcony (which fronted a small, tree-lined creek) outside the kitchen, when she suddenly darted back in. You could almost hear her saying, “See, Momma, I told you I could catch a bird!” A locust had literally flown head first into her mouth and its wings were flapping on each side of her jaws. She was so upset with me when I took it away and released it!
Great story, Joan!
