It’s been more than a minute since I’ve thought to post any pics….truth be told we have been just too busy keeping up. But this hint of fall air gifted us with a magic morning. And it’s a nice time time to show what we have been up to. Mama’s got a new paint job, the old tin roof has got some new screws, the ancient trees have had a little pruning, and the water lilies have been fertilized. Even old Beaux has had a bath. It’s a great day to be alive!

Water lilies!!! We spent the morning with our pond muse Poule d'Eau Kyle seeing all the beautiful blooms. Fun fact we learned today….water lily blossoms are fragrant. But you have to get up close to smell them. See below!! Another fun fact, we have seven different varieties blooming in our big fountain. Some are day bloomers and some are night!!

When you are hosting dinner for the winning bidders of the Bayou Teche Museum auction fundraiser and Chef Alex Patout is cooking the meal it’s magical….even if you are on the back porch hiding…or maybe especially if you are on the back porch hiding. He treated us to a delicious gazpacho and a gorgeous smoked filet with creamed spinach and brabant potatoes. I know the guests inside had the best meal ever and so did we ❤️❤️❤️!

Just an afternoon shot of the third floor hallway. So many little nooks and crannies to enjoy!! And a giant dog that follows me everywhere…

It may be stifling hot outside but the flora and fauna of Albania are flourishing and don’t seem to mind the heat. A big thank you to Annette (from Jeanerette) and Pulle D’eaux for their love of the grounds, including the smallest creatures that call Albania Mansion home!
