Jaune is gone. That’s all I know. When we came home from baseball practice last night, there was no sign of her. I am sad, because she and I had bonded Monday evening while I was bird watching. Everything happens for a reason, though.
No, these are not books about cherries. Rather, it is the name of the neatest bookstore in the town of Thibodaux, LA. Thibodaux is a great college town. It has lots of old architecture and a French feeling. It is the first city I lived in when I journeyed to South Louisiana in 1978 and…
CONTEST ALTERED! Since no one has been able to name this flower, LilSis helped me realize that asking you to do so was misleading, because you actually need to name the TREE! With that said, the first person who finds this tree through a Google search and then posts a link to an image just…
The spring bird migration is fast approaching. I hope to get some photos of my guests as they pass through on their way to points northward. Meanwhile, I’ll enjoy the hummers. PS While sitting on the porch, watching the hummers, my son and I watched a gorgeous pileated woodpecker eating on one of our trees,…
I’m sorry. I just can’t help myself. This is my “honeysuckle gate”. The smell is so inviting right now. And a new crop of spider lilies. Four in a row. I don’t think they’re appropriately named. Don’t spiders have 8 legs? If you haven’t already, please back up one post and enter the NAME THE…
Well, it’s been a long week. Many of you read the post about Redneck Gumbo and you had a lot of good comments. Some of you even rushed out and bought the ingredients, which is AWESOME!! And then a couple of you even came back and said how deelish it was! I’d like to say…
Sooooo, as some of you may know, I have not done “fishing charters” for about six years or so. Without my Termite deckhand, it just got to be too much for me, especially in the heat of summer. The charter guide’s day starts super early and doesn’t end when the customers get off the boat….
Oh no! That’s so sad! I hope she turns up again. Abby and I send our love.
Thank you and Abby. We are hoping that the owners reclaimed her. That would be a fine ending to this story of a boy and a dog-for-2-days!
I’m also sorry to hear that she is gone. My heart goes out to Termite.
He’s acting tough, like it’s for the best, but I know he’s disappointed. She’s not been here in almost 24 hours, so that’s not a good sign.
My heart goes out to a very disappointed boy, and hopes he finds comfort that his temporary friend is at home with his owner. Perhaps a mom may find room for a retriever pup, lab, golden, whatever as long as it ducks………..Thanks for sharing this with us…as it surely has seemed to touch us all.

Your words touch me, Deb. He was offered a lab puppy free last night, but he’s not ready for all that responsibility; and I don’t have the time to take up the slack right now. I have traveling to do, and we already have one dog that we have to provide care for. I told him he can have his dog when he’s a little older and proves he can be responsible for ALL its care. And you know what? He totally agreed. Having Jaune for a couple days showed him how much work a big dog is. Yes, she was fun, but she was also quite a few handsful! Maybe that was a double blessing?
Snif. I’m still mourning Shawee. Squeeze Termite for me.
We had a dog show up like that once. We loved her but she had a wandering gypsy heart.
Tell you son to let her go. She wants to love a lot of people. Maybe there is a golden at the shelter needing his love?
