Noteworthy in Nola

Even without magnolias, the trees are covered

All along the parade route the beads that didn’t quite make it to people’s hands build up until they’re fairly dripping with them.

The leaves come in a few weeks, and the elements go to work. By summer most of the beads will have broken off, and the few that remain will be bleached white.

  Hey, y'all, thanks for stopping by!~
  

  I'm Tess Conrad, Yankee gone native in New Orleans. After dozens visits to research and write about NO's history I figured it'd be cheaper to just move, and in 2002 we did just that.

  The blog was started as a companion to my New Orleans-themed shop (now closed), and give visitors a glimpse into life here. I'm keeping the blog here, even though I haven't been as good at updating it as I ought to be.

  I still write, not to mention photograph everything in sight, and gambol in the garden. Drop me a line, let me know what you think, or what you'd like to see covered!
