Fresh eggs can be found in your front yard, even on Louisiana Ave. in the heart of the city.

    Walking down Louisiana Avenue to St. Charles Avenue yesterday, I saw a rooster and four hens. One of the hens had escaped the fencing. Fresh eggs can be found in your front yard. I am told that the owner gets a fresh egg a day.

     A power walk through my "hood' demonstrated that each day brings surprises. I stopped to read the historic marker at the Van Benthuysen Elm House Mansion at 3029 St. Charles Ave. The Counsel General, an former U-boat  kaptain,  lived there and report to the Axis prior to WWII about naval activity from New Orleans.

    Walking is an excellent way to really see your environment.I am  most grateful for the sight-seeing tour of those 2.2 miles. Strap on some shoes and join me in my daily explorations. What have you found?
