It's Tuesday, the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, Mardi Gras. Across Louisiana, couriers are roaming the countryside, begging for chickens, rice and veggies to make a big gumbo. In New Orleans, the festivities are ramping up to a fever pitch that will culminate at midnight, when the parties will be over and the Lenten season will begin.
Heavy weather across much of Louisiana night dampen the parades, but it certainly will not dampen the festivities.
Belle and I will stay, for the most part, on our little acre today. We will leave the reveling for the younger set. Even though we don't participate, we are with them in spirit.
