As we walked back from sipping our morning coffee/tea and reading the paper at our neighborhood coffee shop, I thought about "our neighborhood" and how different it is than the farm. Yes, sirens and loud cars have replaced the frogs and spring peepers as we head to bed, but I (Bev) have been surprised that I love city life, and our New Orleans’ Faubourg St. John mid-city neighborhood in particular.. We have several wonderful restaurants within walking distance, visit with the neighbors as we come and go, are a 5 minute drive from the French Quarter and a 10 minute walk to City Park, have fascinating architecture to observe, and the spring flowers are spectacular. Life is good.

Gumbo and music at Liuzzi's By the Tracks, near the gate to Jazz Fest!
Our favorite pizza cafe--La Vita on Esplanade
Our neighbor, Gaynell, listening to Micah read the book she gave to him
