Agents of Decay
Whenever I see an agent of decay, like fungus, I hear my daddy saying, jokingly, “There’s a fungus among us!” I can’t for the life of me recall what he would have possibly been referring to, because none of us had nail fungus or anything like that. But what some folks might consider just ugly…
Two Years and Eleven Crosses Later
We are now two years post-BP oil spill, and the best way to describe the situation here in coastal Louisiana is a catch twenty-two.

The Adventures Continue!
If you’ve ever seen Cajun Justice, then you have actually seen some of the areas on my Wetland Tour route. So, we headed up to the “haunted swamp” from one episode, which is also the same swamp where the alligator poachers got busted with the help of a big alligator head decoy. I showed them the spot where the poachers jumped out of the boat and took off running. And the idea hit me, “Hey, I could start doing Cajun Justice Tours!”

Ok, folks, no pics just facts. It’s not quite 7 a.m. and I just finished putting my lower kitchen cabinets back into order at my home down the bayou. Yes, I am trying to make my home livable until we decide what we will do here. That’s another story for another day. There are so…
Fishing, fishing, fishing!
That’s what I”ve been up to. On a borrowed computer right now, so time is short. As soon as I can, I will post up a combined report from the last week hopefully complete with a couple interesting photos! What have y’all been up to? Report soon, BW
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!
