Mid-Life Women & Fishing
You never know if you like a food, unless you taste it. You never know if you like a type of music, until you hear it. You never know if you like a massage, until you feel it. Well, fishing is the same way. I am of the opinion that more women would enjoy going…
Anatomy of a Duck Hunt . . .
or “Mom, there is no one to take me duck hunting. I’ve called everyone . . sniff . . sniff . . and tomorrow is going to be the best morning yet. I just know it.” And I sympathized with Termite, I really did. We have the boat, he has acquired all the proper gear…
March on the Mandalay Nature Trail
Wanderlust: noun 1. a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about. Filled with wanderlust and a big dose of early spring fever, I hopped in the Impala and headed to parts unknown. I’ve come to learn that these are often the best trips; but no matter, something of joy always finds me when I give…
Shadow Dance
Hello, my name is Bayou Woman, and I am an addict. A swamp addict. I admit it. But for me, it’s not a problem, as long as I get a fix every once in a while. So, on my birthday, without a plan, I rose early, dressed quickly, grabbed my camera bag and hit…
Anatomy of an Evacuation – The Trip
EVACUATION DAY 1 CONTINUED We left at 4:40 p.m. Saturday. We traveled on back roads in order to avoid crowded interstates, and we got bored. For a while, we joined a little caravan . . . and drove through little towns with weird names like “Gross Tete” that mean things like “big head” while cows…
Holiday Baking
If you recall, I previously posted the recipe for Gingerbread Bayou People! This year, I only baked Bayou Boys! My 21-year-old son asked for a tin of these as a gift. That’s easy enough! And please don’t be offended that they are all naked this year. I forgot to buy their clothing! These are the…
Wow! Is this a rat snake?
Yes, that would be correct! I think it was thinking about eating some kitten.
…..O….M….G…!!!!!…….T.h.u….d! Don’t care how long I live down here…I never get used to those things…also knowing it’s dead…just seeing termite holding it…my skin is crawling with the shivers…ok..just breathe…

I can’t quite looking at that young man holding it….I have watched them climbing trees, seen them sleeping in holes in the ground, slithering off patio roofs, and dug them up with potatoes…They are E V E R Y W H E R E….but I can’t get used to them!!! uuuugh…errrh..thanks for sssharing…(Termite..go wash your hands baby!!!!)
Deb in Tx, with one shakey cup of coffee…shhhezzzzzzzz
Yea, I’m with you, Deb. I hate to kill a non-poisonous snake, but this one startled him and the big yellow dog, and yes he did use his Christmas present on it. Watch out for those copperheads, though.
Hope Termite used his Christmas present on “God’s one mistake”.
Yes, he surely did!
Yikes. I try to maintain an agreement with the snakes around our place: you stay outside of our property lines, and I won’t kill you. Unless you’re a copperhead, and then all bets are off.
Yeah, I just remembered, I can’t come down the bayou… ever… again. *shudder* Where WAS that?! And it’s a king snake, right?
Oh… missed the first comment. Rat snake. I can see it now. I’m going to have to adopt ALL those little kitties!
Please, please please come get the kitties. Better yet, I’ll drop them off with a bag of food, and Muzicman will just think they belong to the big white house next door, where they ALWAYS have cats, right? Hey, that sounds like a good plan!
It’s the water moccasins from the pond across the road that I REALLY hate to find in my yard! Big, black ugly vipers.
You go, Termite!!!!
Cuz, we don’t tolerate water moccasins here AT ALL!
