MEANWHILE HERE IN THE HOOD

TURKEY DAY

IS COMING

AND THE COOKING

HAS BEGUN

SPINACH MADELINE

A LONG TIME

FAMILY TRADITION

I AM WALKING
 THE TRAILS
AT LINCOLN PARISH PARK
SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK

AND ENJOYING
THE SOFT CARPET
OF AUTUMN LEAVES
UNDER MY FEET

WHICH BRINGS ME TO

THE CONTROVERSY
OVER THE WATER
BEING DRAINED 
FROM THE PARK LAKE
FOR FRACKING

THE NOISE IS HORRIBLE
UNLESS YOU ARE GETTING
A FAT CHECK
AND THEN IT IS TOLERABLE

THINGS ARE ALWAYS
COLORED
BY THE EYES
YOU PEER THROUGH!


AND WHILE THE BROTHER 
IS AWAY
I AM TAKING CARE
OF THE ORIGINAL
FAT CAT

AND
WE REALLY DO
HAVE WILD LIFE
HERE IN LOUISIANA

SASQUATCH
SIGHTING ON MY BUDDY'S
GAME CAMERA
RIGHT BEHIND HER HOUSE!

YOU DON'T SEE THINGS
LIKE THIS
IN THE CITY!


STILL ENJOYING LIFE
HERE IN THE LOUISIANA HOOD
