Back to our normal
Loca and I went for a walk run through City Park this morning but before we got off the front porch I turned to look at the bayou because I heard what sounded like a human being jumping in the water – instead it was two large Louisiana pelicans juking and diving and a merry band of cormorants swimming around them. Not a human was stirring as it is the day after Mardi Gras here and everyone is just shaking off the excess and dressing for normal today. In the park, the geese, cormorants, ducks and swans were all in full action mode trying to shake off the cold – Loca and I ran just to get our blood pumping.
As I walked back with the sun climbing the bright blue sky, I took a long deep breath and squinted at the sunlight reflected off the bayou and said to myself, what a life!
