Another Item Accomplished From The Life List

Live where a Hibiscus plant will flourish. I finally have my own. I was originally thinking Hawaii, but this will work for now.

Planters With Palms

Outside our house! Makes it look so much more like a home. We are fancy now.

The sound and sight of the carriages going by is just icing on the cake.

Metatarsal Fracture On Tuesday

Means no Rock-N-Roll half-marathon on Sunday:(
Dammit!
On the plus side, 7am is frankly WAY too early to be starting a race . . .

10:30am on the Riverfront

Revelers from the Krewe de Vieux get an early start on their parade, which starts at 6:30pm tonight
In New Orleans, there is no such thing as starting a party too early.

Our St Louis Street Neighbor's Balcony

So envious of her Mardi Gras Decorations! I have to wait until after we get our planters up next week.

Nice Morning on the Levee

This musician was playing Zippity-do-da as we walked up the steps to the river levee this morning. Not a bad way to start the day.

Reykjavik sits and watches as a ferry crosses the Mississippi with the Crescent City Connection in the background.

King Cake Wreath

First time i have seen these. They are wreaths made to look like King Cake, but with the baby on the outside.

Morning Walk

Today Reykjavik chose to deviate from our usual path and take me to the river via Bourbon Street. Lots of smells for a person, it must be almost overwhelming for a dog.

Real Dog

One of Reykjavik's favorite pastimes - chillin' in the grass.

Art Dog

Very cool looking bowling ballesque dog in front of the Aquarium on the waterfront. Reykjavik checked it out.

Rainy Day

This is the NOLA that i love. Misty, warm, rainy, and still. This is when the spirits come out to play.
