Sun and grey cloud shared the sky today. I wore sunglasses when out for errands, but the cloud seemed to be present more of the time. Some of the puddles did soak into the ground, while others were topped with a thin layer of ice. Walking the clear sidewalks felt good. I am much less tense when little worry about slipping is present. I had a meeting that went longer than expected and then stopped to pick up needed items at two stores.
Today is Mardi Gras. I made red beans and rice (Lundi beans) to eat yesterday for Lundi Gras. Today I made blueberry pancakes for supper. Both meals were very yummy. Eating breakfast for supper feels a bit odd, but fun. I'm also sure that there is far less snow in New Orleans today than there is here. It is likely even warmer than here <smile>. I loved visiting that city for the music which was everywhere of every genre; for the food that was so amazing -- a combo of European, Caribbean and indigenous; for the overall atmosphere of taking life as it comes and enjoying every day. I do need to go back there -- After all the Southern Food and Beverage Museum calls New Orleans home. And Food is My Life [tm].
The song chosen fits the celebration today. The version shared features a wonderful younger voice. Keep safe. Enjoy!
Take me to the Mardi Gras -- Paul Simon
