Friday morning I hopped in the car and cruised on over to NOLA. That’s New Orleans for you yanks. I met up with my girl Al who had extended her business trip to hang out and we hit the town.
Sippin’ on some Louisiana Lemonade
We hit Bourbon St. and it hit us back. Hard.
I decorated my glass of water with some hand grenades.
The Magic Kingdom
Spirits’ Shots Chair. I steered clear.
On Saturday morning, Matt joined us. We all went to the Garden District to take a walking tour, but seconds before the tour was supposed to start it started thundering, lightning and torrential down-pouring, so the tour was cancelled. We went to the WWII Museum instead.
And then jumped back on the Bourbon St. train.
What is that guy behind Al doing???
Sunday we returned to Prickly Pear Plantation which was a peaceful retreat from the crazy city!
Now time for an update on the gardens! We recently realized we weren’t watering the plants enough since the soil drains so quickly here and it’s been mighty steamy at high noon. Once we discovered this and started watering more, everything seems to be doing great!
Flowering Peanut Plant
The Three Sisters Garden
Bush Beans
Can you see those baby tomatoes?
How hot is that Cayenne Pepper?!
Basil!
Just like the sign says, this is Okra.
These cantaloupe plants are starting to flower!
This week on eBay we sold this Vintage Little Brown Chest Cooler.
Ain’t she a beaut? If anyone is interested in picking up some Lynyrd Skynyrd LP Records you got 9 hours to place your bids! If you haven’t heard Free Bird on vinyl, you’re seriously missing out. That’s all ya’ll, enjoy the short week!

Your gardens look great! While I was reading this, all I could think of is Dad saying, “Plants need water, man.” Speaking of that, I should probably water mine today. It’s not nearly as impressive as yours, but you can actually see green things growing!

Dad’s always full of good information like that. Also, I find it impressive that you can get anything to grow in the arctic tundra in which you reside. Can’t wait to see what you have going in a few weeks!
