Morning is my very best time of the day no matter where I am in the world. My place on the Lot makes enjoying the mornings easiest, with the beauty of our sunrises, sunsets, and dancing diamonds right outside my windows on the Lot and my terrace. We have those specatculars in New Orleans too; I just have to travel a little further to find them...a bike ride away.
I've been thinking about what is outside my windows in New Orleans.
After the storm when I was living back in the apartment, I looked out my windows to see a number of blue roofs on Broad Street. Over time, my trumpet plants returned, the fences and uprooted concrete were repaired, and my limited garden space was replanted. My friends and I used to put up the colorful umbrella, get some wine, cheese, fruit
and other goodies and "pretend France" in the backyard. (And yes, a number of those get togethers are already in the works.) But this time, I will be living in the big house for the first time since the storm seven years ago. I don't remember spectaculars right out my windows. I'd always go to Bayou St. John or City Park to capture them. You can be sure that if these spectaculars appear right outside my Columbus Street windows, I will share them with you. Until then:
I leave you with some New Orleans spectaculars to make you smile!
