  • Helpful Spanish Moss

    With summer rapidly approaching, thoughts of hot days, trips to the beach, and dreaded high humidity loom large in the mind.

  • Bayou Christmas Eve!

    It’s a tradition down the bayou, to have a Christmas boat parade that takes Santa past all our houses, ending up down the bayou where he gets out of the boat and gives gifts to all the kids while everyone eats gumbo. As I watched the boat parade and took photos, a little story formed in my brain, and this poem is the result. I hope you enjoy it, mon amis!

  14. Here I am to tell anyone who hasn’t been over to Kim’s Etsy store to get right on over there – I bought a necklace from her, and when it arrived it was even prettier than I thought it would be.

    One of these days in the medium future I’ll get a blog up about all this myself. Thanks for the original post, and thanks for introducing us to Kim and her work!
