March 26th, 2025: Houston Zoo!
Ro’s favorite animal was the meerkats. And I didn’t get a picture of her with those even though she sat looking at them for a while… And asked to see them one more time before we left. But allll the other animals were close seconds. And we had a great time!!
Celebrated her birthday this week with a trip to Houston!
Dried herbs and spices are so pretty together.
This makes me smile.
She missed co-op yesterday because of a sore throat, but we brought her home all the activities. She got busy on this one yesterday evening.
💚☘️🌿🌳
Made applesauce muffins allllll on their own today. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Something little that makes me happy: tiny bowls to soak nasturtium seeds that match the color of each variety. 😍
Didn’t have matching plates to keep them dark. But it’s still fun to see all the color sitting on the counter.
My cousin and her family came to visit us the past few days. So, we decided to do a swamp tour on the Atchafalaya Basin. Had a(n unexpected) private tour on a really beautiful day!
Saw a mama and baby great horned owls, ospreys, and some gators (still a little chilly for a plethora of gators).

Yesterday 💛💜💚
Birthday eats from yesterday: crawfish hand pies w/ crispy Brussels + blueberry cream cheese and Biscoff king cake cookies (and @Mtt’s choc chip cookie)
Louisiana’s “second winter” arrived (“almost, but not quite Spring” will be here next week, though, so it won’t last long), so cat snuggles this morning. Pretzel 🐈 was appreciative.
Some impromptu extra “school” time outdoors this afternoon: Finding tracks and identifying them 🦝 + picking dandelions, etc. and watching a timelapse video of how they morph from bloom to seed.
Cute lil’ hedgey Valentines Ro gave to co-op pals this week. She also made another whole set. And B made his own set with personalized pictures on each one. ❤️
I’ve so enjoyed cuddling up in bed every other night with my bud and reading two chapters of (our 1970 thrifted edition of) The Chronicles of Narnia series. We finished The Silver Chair last night.
Tried a new to me coffee this morning.
Another dinner photo 😌
Duck fat fries. Couldn’t set them on the table before little hands started reaching for them. 💛
What’s for dinner: Homemade red beans & rice with homemade cornbread and homemade ginger-ale-ish lemonade ✔️
Made a quick stop for some coffee in Texarkana (Nash), TX. Local Habit. Got The Hive, which is a honey, cinnamon, and vanilla latte. It was really good.
A most unusual (and really cold) day in South Louisiana.
