Summer in Louisiana

Summer is definitely here in southern Louisiana. We have had constant high temps of 94-97 with the heat index in the low 100's for the last two weeks. It's hot, humid and sticky! Below a photo of one of my favorite flowers...

Free Admission to LA Parks

Today was Louisiana State Parks free admission day, therefore we went up to Rosedown Plantation in St. Francisville to tour the house and gardens again. We really enjoyed the tour of the house (we had a great guide) and took lots of photos. We also ate lunch in St. Francisville at Magnolia Cafe - which was really good. Below are some of my favorites...

Easter

This Easter we enjoyed fried turkey....it's so yummy!!! If you haven't tried a fried turkey I highly recommend them. I made a lemon meringue pie, we played outside with the dogs and to make the day complete talked about our upcoming trip to Disney World.

Meeting Blue Dog Artist/Author

My mom has always wanted to paint a photo of Sid in the same style as George Rodrigue who paints the Blue Dog series. So, when I heard Mr. Rodrigue was coming to campus for a book talk/book sign, my mom and I planned to attend and we invited Kay to join us. He was very interesting, we had a really good time and he signed our books after the discussion.

Spring? Winter? Layout

I took this photo during our "snow storm" in Baton Rouge, LA back in December. I thought this photo really captured how freak the snow storm really was considering flowers were still in bloom.

I used Making Memories, American Crafts, Bazzill, and October Afternoon products.

3rd Anniversary

I can't believe it's been three years. I love you Kip!

Spring is here

Spring is definitely here in Louisiana. March is by far my favorite month! The flowers are all blooming and the weather is great. We are outside almost everyday enjoying the reason why we moved to the south.

Below are some photos of flowers in my yard.
