How do you feel about public bathing?

ByCapt. Wendy

Hey, Blondie, where’s all the grub?

Hey, what are YOU looking at? Don’t just sit there staring at me! Go get my bathwater ready!

Could you get me a snack while I check out the bathtub?

Hmmmm, it looks clean enough.

Let me ease on in here and check out the water temp.

Ahhhhhh, that’s just what my aching wings were needing

Hey, can’t a bird get a little privacy?

I thought I told you to go get me a snack! Whatcha waitin’ for, huh?

Oh yea, that’s it. A little splash here, a big splash there . . .

Oh, ah, now I got it.

No, Red-winged blackbird, it ain’t your turn yet! Buzz off!

Ok. The line’s getting kinda long. I’ll just shake off here a little . . .

And finish drying off at the feeding table.

Hey, blondie, thanks for the Bird Stop!

See ya next spring!

    Sometimes, Life throws an amazing curve ball, like the one I was thrown last spring when I launched the first Bayou Woman Adventure. Utilizing the avenue of social media via Facebook, I pitched it out there, and it went straight for a bit, and then that ball made the most awesome curve, and who knew what kind of game that would lead to?

    What could possibly bring together an artist from Norway and a farmer from Thibodaux?  Sugarcane, that’s what. It all started with Anne Senstad’s vision of a labyrinth made of humans linked together, which evolved into a living art form of plant life instead.  After online research and a series of phone calls to the Louisiana…

    Crawfish Bisque

    It is “those” times again.  I don’t even know if that’s grammatically correct, but it’s Mardi Gras time AND the start of crawfish season.  We purchased our first sack and Termite boiled them up for us with lots of extras, like onion, garlic pods, mushrooms, smoked sausage, and potatoes. While we were eating crawfish, and…

  3. One more time? Please tell me the correct name of the HUGE woodpeckers that are about 2 feet tall, or more, with a ruffle around their necks.

    See? I’m not the only admirer of your photos that think they should be framed (or made into a book).

    I love that you understand what the critters are “saying” and “thinking”. Right on target!

    I’m not sure. The ones I”ve seen here lately are about a foot tall, but I didn’t notice a ruffle. They are called a Pileated woodpeckers.
