	Over 50 pelicans-Lake Ponchartrain

Posted by: Asta, 1:21 AM GMT on September 14, 2009

this evening on our way back across the lake from the south- we counted over 50 pelicans flying along the causeway on the east side- hunting fish- that's the most that we have ever counted going home.. and there were lots of white herons or "cranes" up past covington in the fields with the horses and cows.. the clouds were very low and in bands over the lake- felt very tropical. The chickens aren't laying either- so I'd say that we're in for a soaking for a few days..

looks like invest 93L is very disorganized still.. If it does become a Tropical Storm.. it's anybody's guess where in the GOM she will land.. All I know is that we need rain, very badly.

We waited until the sun had set to celebrate a birthday dinner with some older relatives who really shouldn't venture out in the 100' temps. We need some rain badly to cool things down. My bluberries are looking like raisins!

Here is South Louisiana, we love "seasonings" so ours are a little like our beloved cayenne peppers- hot and spicy seasons....Four major, with a lot of other festivals and hunting seasons in between..
