This is one of the prettiest and longest Spring seasons we’ve had on the Gulf Coast, I keep saying aloud. Usually, the cherry tree blooms in February. Normally, the azaleas also bloom in February and are budded, bloomed, and drooping withered blossoms in the span of just two weeks. But this year! Ah, this year…
The [...]

We’ve found some critters lately.
First of all, we have a goat on a tote…
Her name is Flower. She knocked down the pile of bricks that she used to use, so now she uses an upside-down tote for naps and general laziness.
This critter was at our back door yesterday morning. It was a shy thing, flitting around [...]

I hope I’m not depressing the cold ones among us with my continuing spring coverage (“Continuing spring coverage”? Goodness, I sound like I’m on the local newscast). It’s just that I so adore the warm yet cool breezes and the blooms and buds that are everywhere I look. The birds are singing, the bees are buzzing, and the [...]

I read a magazine article recently about a photographer who was asked what he was doing lying on his side outdoors. The photographer held up his camera and said, “I’m taking photos.” The traveler looked around at the dry brush and ugliness surrounding them and said, “Of what?” The photographer said, “Of God.”
This is where I live.
I find [...]

I enjoy all things in nature. For me, nature is God’s Great Cathedral. I see Him in everything natural, from baby’s little toes to the dark clouds on a stormy summer afternoon.
That’s one reason I love birds so much. Here are a few we’ve seen in the past week:

I’m not sure what this one is This is [...]

We always have a lot of birds down here, with the barrier islands, many bays, bayous, and rivers, but we also get some Winter guests from the North. Snowbirds that come down with the snowbirds. To those of you who are missing your birds right now: they’re doing fine; we’re taking good care of them!
I couldn’t [...]

My birthday present from my man arrived last night. I jumped up and down, which made the kids jump up and down.
My man didn’t jump up and down. He’s cool, you know.
This morning, as soon as I possibly could sneak away from the unfinished household chores (“I need to go….uh, feed the goats, kids!”), I went out to feed [...]

Honest, I was just taking a photo of our littlest daughter enjoying the beach in Florida.
Just a mama taking a photo of her daughter, that’s all. When, oops…
…oh, well, if we absolutely must have something else in our photos, why not surfers?
Why not, indeed.

Here are a few more Mardi Gras ‘Crewe de Spaniards’ parade photos for you:
Our littlest gal caught a full basket of throws (and then some!). Mardi Gras hint: If you want to catch lots of great things, bring a little kid along with you. They are popular with those throwing.
Notice the beads flying in the top [...]

Mardi Gras Ladies, by Lori Seaborg, 2008
Aren’t these ladies beautiful? I just love Mardi Gras! I don’t think anyone who goes to the Mardi Gras festivities after Christmas can possibly get post-holiday depression. Mardi Gras will take that right out of you!
Yesterday we went to our favorite parade with some friends. It was only 38F [...]

Softies at the Beach, Lori Seaborg, 12/31/2007
I’ve been making softies (little stuffed critters) lately. They are just too much fun! I love the speed of each project, and how simple they are, yet so very very cute. Don’t you just want to squish them?
On my recent birthday (no, I’m not saying how old I turned, but I’ll [...]

Oreo Oops, by Lori Seaborg, 2008
What’s wrong with this Oreo?
Discovered by our little guy, age 7. (Oh, and let’s just say that’s got to be Oreo under his fingernail, okay?)
