I'm a thankful wimp. Evacuation continues.
TUES. Sept 2 The lake house to which we evacuated was plenty large enough for 12 people–all related–running from Hurricane Gustav. But it’s amazing how small that house became after 12 hours with no electricity and nothing but rain for 24 hours. With temperatures rising and still no power, the natives were growing restless. With…
Chapter 8 – Crew Boat Ride
Crew-change day was there before I knew it and time to embark on a new adventure. Oh sure, I had ridden on crew boats when I worked over at the production dock. My first was a ride out to the edge of the Gulf of Mexico on a fifty-foot crew-boat run by a suntanned crew…
Happy New Year's Eve, Madame Grands Doigts!
Folks who visit here or meet me for the first time are rather surprised at the blond hair and green eyes, because they mistakenly preconceive that a woman way down in coastal Louisiana who writes about life in the Louisiana wetlands must surely be Cajun. Not.
BW’s Caribbean Vacation Comes to an End
One could say I’m documenting this vacation as much for myself as for you, the reader. There are just so many times I can repeat how marvelous this trip was among my circle of family and friends before they start dodging me. By the end of this final account, you may have grown tired of hearing…
Wetland Photography Tour Challenge
This is Beverly looking down at some of her recent photos. The youngest-oldest of the two-day groups, at 82, she is spry as a spring chicken and a major inspiration to me. So, tell me, folks . . . what is the difference in these two photos? My entire purpose in posting these together and…

Bayou Woman reaches 100,000 Hits on Blog! Bayou Woman (I’m speaking in third person now, for what reason I have no clue) would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has visited her blog over the year and a half helping spread the word about Bayou Life, Bayou Food, and the Louisiana Wetlands!…
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 pulled a copperhead out from under my push mower prior to starting it this week..but it was only 7-8 inches…I mowed my lawn on my tippy toes mind you….You have found my weakness…and it’s ssssssssnakes! 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!
