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.

Atchafalaya Basin Swamp Tour
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.
We chose McGee’s for several reasons: 1) We’ve heard good things. 2) My husband and I have been on a few swamp tours on a lake near our house, but have never done one in the Atchafalaya. So going somewhere new sounded good. 3) Their tour boats have taller sides than other boats we’ve been on, so it felt like a good choice for our kids’ first boat experience. 4) It’s only 15-ish minutes from our house!
We ended up having a(n unexpected) private tour on a really beautiful day!
I could’ve stayed on the boat all day. It’s so relaxing and the swamp is a different kind of beautiful, even in winter.
Of course, viewing wildlife was a highlight. We saw a mama and baby great horned owls, ospreys, and some gators (still a little chilly for a plethora of gators).
And we left with some fun souvenirs!
Then, we drove to Poche’s in Breaux Bridge for a yummy lunch.

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.
