A short post

We ate some more great crawfish this weekend.


Next time I should get a picture of the Bananas Foster Cheesecake they have for desert. Oh wow! Good stuff!

It is Elderberry season. Well, almost. :)


It was pretty sunny this morning when I took the picture, so sorry for the quality. Maybe I'll get a picture later in the day next time.

The pecan 'flowers' have all turned brown and most have fallen off. This picture is from one of the older trees I call the Christmas pecan tree, because the pecans are pretty much always bigger and heavier than the others so they make good Christmas presents.


Hard to believe we have to wait until the end of September or October before we can eat them. :)

The magnolia trees are blooming everywhere down here.


All the blooms are way over my head so that's the best I could get.

And we found 3 turtles in different places in the pasture that were laying eggs.

It is definitely summer here. Low to mid 90s for the last week and the next to come. Just means we are a week closer to fall. ;-)
You all be safe and God bless. ♥

  1. My grandfather used to make his own elderberry wine (torpedo fuel) and would occasionally also sip it in the evenings. Every time I think of elderberries, I think of the home-made hooch.

    A crawfish boil sounds wonderful but the bananas foster cheesecake sounds decedent in a way that crawfish can't be.

  3. I just can't imagine sitting down to a plate of crawfish. :) That cheesecake sure sounds good.
