It's storming outside but that doesn't keep the faithful away from the Mardi Gras madness in South Louisiana. Schools out for the rest of the week for the parocial schools and most of the citizens are on holiday with their annual ski or beach trip. I'm here in BR, showing property and playing catch up on paperwork.
Coming from West Texas, I'd never really heard about Mardi Gras until I lived in Dallas and had a couple down the street, Roy and Ginger Enrico that had an annual FAT Tuesday pancake party. Now I get it. Fat Tuesday is the last time the Catholics can really party before they have to "give up" something for lent. Lent being the forty days before Christ was crucified on the cross. So, folks are party-ing pretty hard around here. Roy and Ginger are now in Sacremento, CA.
The Organic Gardening Classes start on Saturday morning down at the Methodist Church. We have 7 signed up this time, but that's perfectly alright as it'll be more hands on. I've got several transplants to get in the ground and numerous weeds to still pull before getting the garden in order. It's a big job, but coming along just fine. One of my Sunday School friends brought me some great starter plants and I'm about to put those in the ground. Now is always a great time to garden.
And, tomorrow it's off to Ash Wednesday and then to office and appointments.
