I see good things on the way.
I think we’re in for pretty weather.
I hope I can go fishin’ today!
PS My cousin who grew up around New Orleans says this about this moon:
I heard that Native Americans call it the Wolf Moon. In New Orleans it’s known as the King Cake Moon. It’s the first full moon after Christmas, just past Jan. 6 (Little Christmas), and the start of Carnival season.
Here we have what I call a “half moon pie”. I’ve decided I like this shape better than the triangular ones. Inquiring minds, especially that of Deloutre Switch, want to know what the inside of this crust looks like. You want to see how much unlike a real pie crust it is. Some of you…
Even though my “real” home is not yet livable, post Hurricane Rita, my goal of finishing this old house project and getting the house elevated looms in the near future. While waiting my turn on the elevation list, a last few necessary things are being done. like a little carpentry work to replace some bad…
And I have been hoping for the best and not preparing at all. The latest email hurricane alert I received today places the storm at a direct hit for where I live. No kidding. I just read that email, and my head is spinning. My heart is skipping beats. My breath is coming in irregular…
First off, I’m going to make my excuses. I was stuck in the anchored boat, facing the sun, so these pics do not do justice to the beauty of this place on this particular morning. They boys started fishing around 7 a.m. and started catching trout right away on this bait . . .
or “The Miracle Workers from Midland, Michigan have arrived!” You haven’t heard from me in a while, because I was unable to escape the ills of winter. I”m still not 100% but I’m so super-dee-duper excited about this group of wonderful folks from up north that I dragged myself out of my sick bed to…
but somebody’s gotta do it and I love taking them to do it! We meet early in the morning at the landing . . . Load up all the volunteer planters and all the plants and chests of water During the hour-long journey, we see some interesting sights–especially if you’ve never been to coastal Louisiana…

Even without the tripod the pictures are breaththking!
Thanks, Cuz, for the history lesson. I might just add that to the post so others can learn more, too!
BTW, DID you go fishing?
Yes, we did go fishing, but only fishing and not catching. The water was still too cold for the trout to bite this morning. It is possible that they bit this afternoon, though, because the sun shone on the lake all day. I just didn’t have the freedom to be there! It was great to be out on the water, anyway. It did WONDERFUL things for my state of mind.
