I'm so stoked to see what this is gonna look like over the arches we're putting together for them. ❤️

Beautiful out here

Out at The Batture and couldn't decide what plate I wanted so I got both that I wanted from Bourree. Smoked chicken thigh and ribs. Noms!

Spirit Airlines is no more. Kind of crazy that at 2am an airline can just cease to operate, but I guess what else would they do.

It's snacky snack time. Iberico pork chorizo, crackers and some English cheddar.

What a fantastic pour from a local New Orleans distillery. Hope you've had an amazing week! Cheers y'all!

What do y'all think of my clam? 😁

Subbing in for WTUL's video game music show in about an hour. Tune in! https://www.wtul.fm #collegeradio

Noms are ready

You'd think these special pancakes were for my 6 yr old and whole is kinda true they're mostly for @chezlin.bsky.social

I was right

I think it's a pancakes for dinner kinda chill evening. ❤️

I need to work on all the grass that's taking over the pond garden area, but otherwise it's looking so pretty and loving this rain. ❤️

Here is little buddy cleaning off her stepping stone after casting.

Had a great evening tonight learning about what Seven Three Distillery is up to. Thanks to James and Marker for a super interesting event and podcast. I'm really enjoying this bottle of President's Pick Steen's Cane Syrup barrel finished bourbon.

Ya'll.. we're working on our backyard a lot these days. Check out these stepping stones that @chezlin.bsky.social and PJ made today. So cool!

A little bottom shelf sippin' tonight on this lovely Tuesday. Cheers y'all!

Drove down to the lake front for a chill evening walk. Very nice out there.

We just need $100 to make rent for this family! #NOLAmeltsICE

Noms tonight

Got a couple things planted today. Need to mulch and what not. Also need to clean up that dang bird of paradise lol

Getting in trouble in the garden out here in Gentilly.

A better look at the garden haul from Rose Garden Center. ❤️

Whoopsie went and ended up grabbing some more flowers for the gardens this time from Rose Garden Center <3. Mostly natives, but not all.

I went down to the farmers market just in time for the storm to hit so had to bail to take PJ to her drop off art thingy. But then @chezlin.bsky.social and I doubled back and got this nice little haul of like 92% native plants. ❤️

First daylily of the season around the backyard pond. ❤️

Rachel and I had late lunches so we didn't have much of a dinner tonight. She came out from putting PJ to bed and said she was hungry. I'm making us some Oklahoma onion burgers on white bread because this wasn't the plan lol 🤤

We had a termite swarm in Milneburg area of Gentilly. It's early huh?

Added some red sage under the lemon tree. A few different hummingbirds love to rest in this lemon tree throughout the day while they're feeding in the yard.

I can hear Jazz Fest while I plant salvia in the backyard and it ALMOST makes me want to ALMOST go. But I don't think I'd enjoy it so I'll stay home and enjoy my garden and family instead <3 I'm glad there are amazing festivals and music for those who enjoy them though.

PJ got to pick out plants at Jefferson Feed today. ❤️

Hey the coral honeysuckle has some berries on it. Spread them seeds birbs!

Old man cat Uni is enjoying the weather in the catio.

This is PJ 4 years ago. <3

Nice little storm this morning huh?

Sleepy Uni. ❤️

I squishededed my ring finger on my left hand with a pond rock and it's not nice. I always joke that my left hand is just for decoration, but man when you have a bruised finger it becomes very clear when its hurt how often you use them lol

Kiddo is asleep. Unwind and relax time. ❤️ Hope y'all had a good week. Cheers!

Pile o' chicken. Post oak smoked noms resting while I finish up some sides.

Sometimes I have 1 tab where I'm house shopping near the route or in Algier's Point or land out in the sticks... and in another tab.. planning and shopping for gardening supplies and long term investments in the house we're in now. lol

Discovery channel stuff in the backyard. These hummingbirds are doing something that starts with an F I think fighting but who knows for sure. Brutal!

Y'all... check out this starfish they get themselves in the silliest places. This buddy is probably smaller than a dime. <3 It's decided it wants to be between the gyro and the glass wall.

We've had plenty of different birds spotted in the yard, but finally a cardinal made it's way on the feeder cam. ❤️ The camera has been mostly made up of house sparrow, house finch, and a couple northern mocking birds.

Rocking some back up glasses today and I'm not mad at em

Some mother fucker broke my good pair of glasses today. I am that mother fucker. I stepped on em and busted them pretty good like. Found a back up pair that's missing a nose piece thingy and ordered some new glasses. Whatever.

As good as the chicken was tonight that was basically no prep. I'm super stoked for the other 7-8 chicken quarters I've got dry brining in the wine fridge lol

btw New Orlean's folks.. Cansecos had or has 10 pounds of chicken quarters for under $11 so I had to grab a bag

Noms tonight hit the spot. Yum!

Chicken is pulled off and resting while we wait for the macaroni to finish up. ❤️
