@L2actual Thank you - Hope Paddy and Scamp are doing well! We truly were blessed with 17+ years with our girl Jozy.

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 rescue dog in the world, smiling at the camera with a bit of her tongue hanging out  Jozy, the best rescue dog in the world, helping me drive. Jozy, the best rescue dog in the world, getting ready to go fetch a frisbee in her two hind legs as my wife prepares to throw it. A lake is behind them. Jozy, the best rescue dog in the world, as a puppy!

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

Rainy afternoon and evenings call for homemade and !

Made some hand cut (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.

Ravioli drying on a pasta net. Brown butter ravioli in a bowl with the salad behind it. Best rescue dog in the world. Jozy. Asking for pasta. Fettuccini noodles drying on a rack with ravioli behind them.

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 on the weekends.

Le Cannet, Côte d'Azur intersection outside of our city hall in Lafayette, Louisiana. Twinned as a sister city in May of 1987.

Light post, up close, in black and white, with a sign that explains the different walk signs. Above it is a sign that says “Le Cannet, Côte d'Azur intersection.” A house and a truck are in the background.

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 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.
