Fall is growing in Baton Rouge

Fall is a beautiful time in south Louisiana.  It is also a great time to grow plants in the slightly cooler but still sunny days.  Aloe vera is blooming beneath the live oak Quercus virginiana.  These succulents don't mind the heat and this dry sunny area seemed to serve them well.   They don't generally bloom often, so these all blooming simultaneously seemed unusual. 

 Breakfast features fresh waffles and fruit as well as maple syrup hand imported from the north (at least until it runs out!)

 The camellias are blooming and will be doing so for the next several months.

 The chickens typically lay a couple of eggs a day.  (Hence the waffles...)

 A group came to visit from Clemson.  Hope was excited about their gifts.

The Clemson/LSU group enjoyed their time at the coast, installing some coastal mats and crab traps coated with concrete.  Thanks and go Tigers!  The Clemson (Tigers) cheered on LSU (those Tigers won their game too).  Thanks to all!
