L'Accent et Tournez-Penchez

Give me days of pastoral peace and quiet beside my wagon with a nice glass of Cahors! To be honest, even with my caved in wagon, those are still most of my days. Wednesday was an exception, and an exception... Continue reading

Simply Silly Seagulls

Growing up in landlocked St. Louis, I knew rivers and lakes, but the closest I ever got to an ocean was the Gulf of Mexico. My first introduction to the Gulf was when I was taking an advanced Geology Course... Continue reading

Save the Roses!

After a pretty full day of cutting grass on Saturday, I went out with the weed killer to edge the areas I'd cut. I also wanted to hit some of the super monster weeds and vines that take everything you... Continue reading

From Saturday to Sunday Sun Rising
Image
Over time, different people have suggested that I set a timer and have a picture taken out of the same window every day. Now, I believe the first person to suggest this to me was my sister-in-law Joan Parker-Bourgeois, who... Continue reading

So glad you snuck in a peek here! I was sure you'd enjoy seeing it. I've always loved that you participated in every vernissage in some way, even if from afar! Surely hope I can get it together to do it again sooner than later! Love you!

Barn Beauty

This month, the barn will be a part of our "we" for eleven years. Coming to us during May of 2010, we blossomed. I always felt that the barn was meant to be with us. Like I so often lament,... Continue reading

The Yellow Rose of Cadrieu

The journey of my very first rose to bloom this season has felt like a long time in coming. I try to be patient. The yellow rose bush in front of the Chatette is prolific and (as expected) with all... Continue reading

Feeling Early Life in France

When Dali, Sammie Cat and I came to Cadrieu during May of 2006 after Hurricane Katrina, I'd come to escape the rubble of my home and life and clear my head. I had decisions to make. Cadrieu and the Chatette... Continue reading

Yesterday afternoon's visit over coffee with my friends was perfect. I had a few nibbles on offer, but it was the peanut butter cookies that were the real hit. As with most of my visiting at the Chatette as of... Continue reading

I must confess that I don't look at the addition side of the house as much as I should. It's a story for another time. I have a tendency to be an avoider, which isn't always a good thing. Usually,... Continue reading

Overalls Days

As much as all my days can be overalls days...grass cutting days always are. I find myself doing the extension cord-lawn mower dance up and down the property and the road. Sometimes there are surprises at the end of my... Continue reading
