Photographers' Tour, Part 1
Busy, busy, busy, I have been. But any time I’m on the water, it’s a good busy! This story is definitely a two-parter, and this morning I’m struggling with which images to share with you. I took close to one hundred images on Monday’s tour with an amazing young woman photographer named Christy S., who is definitely going places with her artistic abilities.
Rumor Flash!
As opposed to News Flash! And yet to be verified . . . . I received a call last night from a friend and business associate who has been working with the oil cleanup process. However, there hasn’t been any oil to clean up right off the coast of the tip of our parish (Terrebonne-…
Contest Giveaway!
Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve given anything away. With more and more bloggers out there vying for free stuff and sponsorship, there’s a lot more competition for those things. I miss the days that Community Coffee so generously sponsored this blog by allowing me to give away free products to you, my…
CONTEST: WHAT IS THIS?
Now that you’re all coming down from you Easter candy sugar highs, it’s time for a little brain strain. And oh by the way, I learned something new at the crawfish boil at BigSis’s two weeks ago. Recess is no longer called recess, it’s called “brain break” or something like that. Interesting. First off, for…
No work Fat Tuesday!
Would you like me to elaborate? Well, I’m going to anyway. In French, Mardi Gras or “Fat Tuesday” has its roots in the ancient Greek spring festival in honor of Dionysus, the god of wine. It was originally called Carnival, or in the original Latin, Carne Vale or “Farewell to the Flesh”. The Romans adopted…
The concrete trucks have landed!
This is the first of 4 trucks and about 20 cubic yards that were poured under the house. Mr. S directs the chute, as the driver sends concrete down the chute. As soon as it’s on the ground, Mr. S and his helper use rakes to pull it across the ground to the far side…
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!
