Living on the bayou has certain benefits if you enjoy nature. Deer grazing in the pasture as the new born fawns frolick about. Cardinals building a nest in the azalea bush outside your kitchen window. Pileated woodpeckers flying from tree to tree as red tail hawks soar overhead. The sudden swoop of a large owl at dusk. Evidence that armadillo were digging up grub worms. Occasionally, I very large snake will appear on the porch. Once you have smelled the stench from a cotton mouth water moccasion, you will never forget it. The damn deer will eat yourtomato plants and flowers. Fire ants will build mounds and sting for no particular reason. June bugs are everywhere. And the spiders!! Not to mention the neighborhood dogs that crap in your yard. AHHH!!
Oh, sorry. The trees are plentiful. We have several species of virgin oak and pine
There are hickory, sweetgum, dogwood and magnolia growing freely. During the fall you get to enjoy the breeze gently blowing through the trees
And during hurricane season, well that's another matter all together
