What a beautiful Easter it was! Gorgeous weather, a little golf, some good food ... perfect!

                          

By the way, you know you're somewhere in the south when you see wild Wisteria climbing through the Pine trees. Gorgeous!

Or how about this beautiful White Swamp Azalia blossom, I think ...

I couldn't find any of my Easter decorations, not that I had many to begin with, but remembered I'd saved some Mardi-Gras beads that might work.

'Memba' these?

As it turned out, they were perfect! (at least, that's what I thought) Just the right colors, and some sort of 'eggs' (beads), threaded on pretty ribbons ....

Voila!

I'd made an overnight salad and found a small (butterflied) leg-of-lamb at Walmart, which turned out utterly delicious! 

For desert I tried my hand at making my first Beignets. Guess what, they're very easy to make and although next time I'll brown them a little less, they were very, very good. Not bad for a first try!

Yummm!

Well, I guess I don't have much more to say this time, other than that if everything goes according to plan (knock on wood,) it looks like James will be done with the job on Thursday and we're going to leave this place on Friday!
I've picked campgrounds and a few things to do in Natchitoches, Opelousas and St Francisville, so hopefully we're going to have a nice little vacation-time on the way back.

OK, I'll throw in one more picture. It's from one of the resident turtles here in 'our' pond. This is a big one!
