The promise of spring . . .
I’ll enjoy these buds while waiting for my snowbells and narcissus to bloom. They are looking very shy this winter . . .

Post 4th activities . . .
Our 4th of July ended up being very well spent — at least the second half of the day anyway. We drove to my niece’s where my nephew put on a big barbecue on her new Kenmore propane grill. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, three kinds of Winn-Dixie brand sausages (it was very good, too)…
Louisiana Culinary Trails – Bayou Bounty
The weather has been so unpredictable that I haven’t been able to do tours or fishing trips. Wind and rain. More rain and more wind. No great new photos to share with you.

The book became a reality when, in February 2005, I held the first hardcover copy of Before the Saltwater Came. Since then, that little book…

Beignets and Irish Cream!
Just when I was getting over glutting myself on King Cake, reader Foamheart sent me an email including photos of his Mardi Gras morning beignets. Now, I have to say, the photos made my mouth water, and I forgot all about King Cake. Give me a nice golden, crispy-on-the-outside and chewy-on-the-inside authentic beignet over King…
That is beautiful! Will you teach me to take photos when I come down there?
It would be great fun to teach you the tiny bit I know. It will take, oh, about five minutes!!
You have the most gorgeous pics!
Thank you, Jill. You obviously haven’t seen the pelican pics I posted earlier today!
