Maurepas Swamp, Part 2
Swamp Things: The Wild Side of Maurepas Swamp Written by Wendy Billiot for Louisiana Wildlife Federation The early morning sun rays streak through the wispy Spanish moss, casting long shimmers of light across the surface of the water. A prothonotary warbler sings high in the bald cypress while the great blue heron flaps to a…
A picture paints a thousand words . . .
After making you suffer through my essay about the Bayou People and the reasons you should love us, here’s a photo of a cypress swamp about 5 miles north of where I live at sunrise. This is my peace offering to smooth any feathers I might have ruffled. My intentions are good. And if you…
Grilled Red Fish on the Half-Shell
What do you do on a cold, windy Friday when the trout aren’t biting? You drift the banks for red fish in hopes they will bite. As fishing luck would have it, two fish reached the end of the line (no pun intended) and made it into the boat. They are a beautiful bronze color…
Hello Baby!
Open my kitchen drawer and there, nestled among the hot pads, koozies, and clothes pins, you just might see . . . three little plastic babies.

Well, nurse HH, I hope he’s on the mend today. That virus stuff gets old real quick!
And we had lemon icebox pie for dessert !
Oh now, you really outdid me there! Was it really lemon “ice box”? Oh my goodness. And you didn’t save me a piece?
If I made a lemon icebox pie no one but me would’ve gotten any. I only make them about 4 times a year just for that reason. I can eat the whole thing!
Looks great!!! Which wine did you chose?
