In her old age, she walked you.
Make no mistake about it.
In those walks, she made you appreciate
bird song before sunrise
the breeze & everything it carried
the simple beauty in moving slow before the world is awake.
She brought so much joy & has left it with us
like all angels do.

Jozy loved her nubbins.

She could catch a dogobie like a wide receiver.
Who dat? A sharpeagle.
We had our own vocabulary.

In her old age, she walked you.
Make no mistake about it.
And in those walks, she made you appreciate

bird song before sunrise
the breeze and everything it carried
the simple beauty in moving slow before the world is awake.

She brought so much joy and has left it with us

like all angels do.

Jozy, the best radio dog in the world, smiling on her walk.

Generally my pattern as well…depending on the weekend weather & whatever time/energy I have left in the tank!

I have a modest goal of 32 miles/week, 100 miles/month. The weekly goal is just enough to keep me active without being too easy, but still challenging enough for me to have to be deliberate

I ride through the UL Lafayette athletic complex to and from work when I commute by #bike. Today I had to wait for about 150 #football players on the Ragin’ Cajuns to pass before I could continue. Geaux #Cajuns!

Rainy afternoon and evenings call for homemade #pasta and #bruschetta!

Made some hand cut #ravioli (paired with a brown butter and sage sauce); bruschetta; a radicchio, arugula, pear and mozzarella salad; and some fettuccini noodles with the leftover pasta dough. Jozy was impressed.

Two pints of strawberries, kohlrabi, flatbread, a baguette, green onions, green garlic, and two bone-in ribeyes. Love being able to bike to our local #FarmersMarket on the weekends.

Meet Jenny! Jenny is one of the first faces I see after my bike ride to work. She’s a voracious reader of fantasy novels, her mug is Edward Scissorhands(!!!), and she has the best inspirational quotes on her desk.

Our local park is hosting a variety of #Louisiana #iris hybrids from a prominent historian’s collection. They are getting close to blooming!

Louisiana Irises are native to the Gulf Coast region & thrive in our wetlands and rich soils.

Japanese Magnolia.

“…its presence in a story can represent a character's refined nature, resilience, or a moment of quiet beauty amidst challenges, often with the white petals signifying purity and the flower's elegant stance signifying dignity.”
