A View from My Front Porch

It isn't necessary to leave your neighborhood in New Orleans, if you wait long enough, the parade comes right up to your front steps. This Spy Boy with the make-believe beaded rifle is from the Wild Tchoupitoulas Indians.
On St. Joseph's Day, March 19th, these Indians march through the streets unannounced.
My neighbor Alexis, on the left, sat on her porch waiting for the arrival. She knocked on my door around 8:20 P.M. to say,"They are coming now." Out the door I hopped, eager to see this with my own eyes.
