April 16 is Easter in Russia (we use an old/ancient calendar in our religion), it is customary to paint boiled eggs here. This is usually done by boiling eggs with beets or onion husks. I boiled several goose and chicken eggs.

Usually I try to incubate goose eggs, but these were taken during a cold snap (it was freezing outside and they were very cold), so I put them in the refrigerator for food.

Goose eggs..huge!

Bugs can be bad. We have sand and horse flies bad after August or so in some places. To the point they attack the vehicle when you stop.

Never been anymore north than Alexandria.

My wife is from Kentucky and calls live oaks (with the moss) scary movie trees.

I love where I live but it's kinda becoming a resort village cause of the bayous. Everybody and thier grandma comes here to kayak the bayous. I wouldn't mind but they're soo loud. Yelling and screaming they really ruin the best part, the tranquil Ness of it all.

The last three pics are during the night of all saints day. The day after Halloween. It's called the night of the dead. We have alot of Choctaw Indians and it is a ceremony in which long ago the Indians would go make fires in the woods, and thier cemetaries and chant and sing and it is believed the fire was lit to give their ancestors spirits a way to guide them to the Choctaw and they talked with the spirits and asked for guidance. Nowadays they do the lighting of the Graves in like a tribute to thier ancestors that did it a century before them. It's really beautiful but to outsiders it can be really freaky, creepy. But it's all for good.

Again, those trees!

Yes'm. That's Georgia. She wanted to look fancy while guarding for me for a thing I had to do. Well, actually she didn't care how fancy she looked, but I did.
I love the breed, too. Getting a red boy late this year. Totally won't paint his nails. His name will be Moses. Can't wait to meet him!
