Saturday 28th September

Woke this morning to very heavy drenching rain.   I didn't have to go anywhere fortunately so went back to bed with my C-Nook, Saturday morning cookery programmes, numerous cups of tea and the cat.

It dried up later in the afternoon and was quite bright, and I went to Walmart for my goats milk.  So have not had a very productive day.   I finished putting up the autumn decorations in the living room yesterday, and photographed them as someone asked me what autumn decorations were.  I like them best, better than spring/summer arrangements, or Christmas decorations.   In this country, in this heat, fresh flowers are not really feasible.  People even take artificial ones to cemeteries.

 



It has been a while since I have posted a registration plate, I haven't seen any new ones, or not been in a position to photograph them, but this was in Walmart's car park. 

Louisiana was originally named La Louisianne after Louis XIV of France in 1682. 

The pelican is the state symbol.   A white pelican mother tears the flesh from her breast to feed her young, this nurturing action represents the state protecting the people and their land.

Louisiana is also known as the Sportsman's Paradise, this nickname pays tribute to the wildlife and the hunting, trapping and fishing resources of the state as well as other outdoor recreational and sporting activity within the state.
