I know I’m way past due for a blog post, but now you can add baseball games to my already jam-packed waking hours. As of now, I get about six hours of shut eye a night. I just can’t pack any more into 18 hours than I do.
So, as soon as I can, I have a new post for you. Maybe I’ll at least get it started at bed time tonight. Meanwhile, enjoy the iris!
Meeting myself coming and going,

Often overlooked as a landscaping choice when visiting your local nursery, the Dwarf Palmetto is a complex native palm of Louisiana that deserves a closer look. Able to grow in even the poorest soil conditions, this palmetto, Sabal minor, thrives in the heat and humidity and is even hardy enough to survive the chilly winters…
Today was a total work day. I left the house before daylight and arrived home after dark. My office was about 7 miles long, and the East wind whipped around my work space all day. The sun shone, the clouds billowed, the marsh hens cackled, and the day ended with the horizon reflecting the most…
For days after my first crew boat excursion, all I could think about were the mysteries that lie beyond the mouth of Bayou Grand Caillou in that vast ocean called the Gulf of Mexico. Previously, those were just words on the map sitting below Louisiana, between Florida and Texas. Now, those words denoted a real…
As promised, here are more photos of the little orphan opossum . . . And here she is again, a little Cajun Kitty. This title submitted by Lauri M. is the winner, but I never even mentioned what the prize would be! So, in order to offer an incentive to get her down here, the…
After two wetland tours with junior high and high schoolers, high winds, and rough seas, I am elated to shout to the whole wide world: NO HEADACHES TODAY! I feel human again. This may or may not be so good, but I have my appetite back, as well. Now, what am I going to do…
Every fall, one of the things I look forward to is the arrival of the brown pelicans, our state bird. The other is the arrival of the eagles. After returning from a recent fishing trip, this guy performed a water dance for me in hopes of getting me to toss him some fish remains. I…
I love the Louisiana Iris. They are so beautiful and actually in my opinion, look more like an orchid.
I have been in your place many times with the comings and goings. Just don’t forget to leave the door unlocked so your behind can get in when it makes it home. I hate having to get up and let it in after I fall asleep!!. LOL!!
I feel for you! It’s baseball season for the junior high, high school and now he’s coaching our daughters softball city league team. Next week I have to go to Vegas for training and then to Dallas a week or two after that. If I pass you somewhere I’ll wave, lol.
Yep… been there, done that!
The color of that Iris is wonderful. I don’t see too many that color. Usually it’s the purple I see in landscapes around here. Course, they may be going for an L.S.U. theme.
Steffi, these were very near some regular purple/blue ones on a walking trail on Grand Isle!
We’ll wait for you BW—-you just catch some extra ZZZZZs and post a pic or two; I’d love to see a big ol’ tree with lots of moss hanging down!
By the way, how were the birds on Grand Isle?
BIRDS! I need to know if the Trout have made their appearance yet on the beaches? I heard reports of Reds having been plentiful for a while now.
Few and far between, but when I got home and Kim arrived, now that was another story!!!
