Beautiful piece of writing. It is easy to feel like I'm right in your courtyard with you. Your photo is lovely. Enjoy your mornings in your peaceful place.
That photo and your description caused me to fall in love with that courtyard. One question: What about mosquitos? Alex's life is the river. I can understand his desire to be near it to start the day. As always, Ron, the description and detail about life in Louisiana are terrific. I enjoyed sharing the morning with your characters and you, my friend.
I'm glad you liked it. Re mosquitos, yes, There are beaucoup de moustiques! De nombreux moustiques! However there are repellents, and, it's only the females that bite. : ) It's their buzzing that gets me. Thank you, Ken.
I caught a whiff of the Jasmine and then felt the tug of the river. I understood the restlessness and the call of the dawn. This one is a delight, Ron. Very well done.
Ahhhh. A lovely journey to Louisiana this morning. I could see it all so clearly, smell the tropical perfumes, feel the damp air on my skin. Thank you, Ron, for taking me along on this sensory banquet... It is a real winner, my friend.
I was right there in that courtyard, smelling that sweet jasmine and hearing that foghorn in the distance. Just some terrific descriptive writing, James. - Jim

I've been up up before dawn a lot lately. Thank you very much, Jim! I appreciate it.
Nola is a lovely place.
Sure is.

I'm glad you liked the visit to my hometown. Such good memories there as a kid. Thank you very much, Sharron!
This has a different feel to it than your other stories. I like it.
Thank you.
