Why we love it here
Forget about all those books like why New Orleans matter – food, music, port, culture – there is simply no way to describe walking out of a building after a rain coming down while the sun is shining and feeling like you just took a sauna. We took the dogs and Tin around the bayou this afternoon because I felt the need to bolt from the LaLa after a day in front of the computer and not spent with my family. We ran into a neighbor who was walking around the bayou because she too had been under a deadline, in front of a computer. We ended up on the porch for a bottle, with the fans on high speed to offset the heavy humidity.
Happy as clams.

yep. wound up on the porch after a recent rain–sun shining through the haze, son drawing with chalk on the porch floor, and neighbors i’ve known for years over for a chilled glass of wine. no where else.
