The man she believed she had buried is back and knocking at her door. It sounds unbelievable, but it is entirely true. This story unfolds in the enchanting streets of old-time New Orleans, a city profoundly influenced by the practices of hoodoo. Miriam and Baron, an elderly couple shaped by the passage of time, live in a charming yet dilapidated house on Rampart Street, a thoroughfare rich in history and mystery. During this period, rituals were often performed in the stillness of ancient graveyards, where the weathered tombstones stood as silent guardians. The Congo tree, with its twisted roots and sprawling branches, served as a secret gathering place for those seeking to connect with powers beyond the ordinary.

Peep the silly little sheep is on her way to the duck pond with floaties on her ankles and a tube around her waist. She doesn't swim very well. She only sinks. Peep loves her floaties they are all the color pink. On her way she meets Pig. Look at you, you silly little sheep, pig says, laughing. Peep replies, I'm going to meet Duck at the pond. We are going for a swim. Come Pig it will be fun for all, we'll have a ball. What is in your sack hanging off your back? Peep asks. Jelly belly beans to eat for a snack. They are very; very good I will share them with you and Duck. Maybe we can eat them in the old box truck. We will have a Jelly belly bean party after our swim. Filling up our cups to the brim. Jelly bellies are the best I do confess. Duck is already there with sweet tea for you and me. Watch out Pig here comes a bee, lets hide behind that fig tree. Buzz, buzz went the bee flying down to the fig tree. Don't be afraid I won't sting you. I just need some nectar to make some honey, don't be a silly funny bunny. I will land on the flowers by the hours. Thank you, bee we were scared, I do declare. The buzzing sound all around had Pig and I running round. We are on our way to meet Duck by the pond. In the morning Duck and I went for a walk. We went to the fair and saw a brown bear wearing a pink tutu with flowers in her hair. Dancing in the towns square while eating a prickly pear. What a funny site to see as we sat under the old shade tree. Pig thought that was quite amusing to see a bear in the town square. Peep and Pig walk the winding dirt path that leads to the pond. They see frog hopping merrily along. They all swim in the early morning. When all are done, everyone basks in the sun. They lay in the meadow of wildflowers and look in the sky. Let's play a game of What does that cloud look like? Peep yells, Pig that cloud looks like you, Duck says, I see a cat, I see a Cheeto, says Pig. Silly pig you always think of snacks. laughs Duck. For hours and hours they run, jump and play, then return to the barn and lay in the hay. To nap and eat jelly belly bean snacks that pig brought on his back in a sack.. Peep says, Jelly bellies are stuck in my wool, Duck quacks, they are in my feathers. Pig oinks mine are in my belly and they tasted so good! Help us get unstuck pig we are very sticky. Ew ,you are so icky. Let's march back to the pond to get you both cleaned up quickly. The jelly belly beans will slide right off. I feel like having stroganoff, says Pig. With that said they all marched to the pond singing this song. Jelly belly's here, jelly belly's there, jelly bellies in my wool and feathers everywhere. The pond is near have no fear, jump right in and let the fun begin. Swishing and splashing. Oh no Peep forgot her floaties, Peeps in trouble. Wish me luck. I'm glad I at my oaties. Duck to the rescue. Pig stands by. Duck takes a deep breath and counts to five. She grabs Peeps tail and tugs her to the tree. Duck at the rearend Pig in the front. Grab Peep now. Pig snorts and grunts. Rest now Peep that was quite a show. No more jelly bellies in your wool you know. Peep you're a silly little sheep. Duck says you must wear your swimming gear before going into the pond. Peep says, you and Pig went far and beyond to save me from the waters in the pond. Thank you, friends for all you do. You make me so proud of you. All dried and rested up, the three friends walk the path back to the farm, arm in arm, skipping along and singing songs. Duck wagging her tail feathers, Peep and Pig swaying their tails. Happy as can be. YIP-YIP- YIPEE
The smell of rain is invigorating as I watch it pour down through my window. There's a sense of melancholy in the air, with the sky weeping and showering the ground. The sound transforms from a gentle pitter-patter to a heavier, amplified rhythm. Rain hits the still pond, creating bubbles that disrupt its tranquility, turning it into a canvas of dynamic ripples and waves. Dark gray clouds thickly blanket the once vivid blue sky, obscuring the sun beneath an overcast cover. Stormy days bring ominous rolling thunderclouds, signaling that bad weather is approaching. Thunderous claps follow the lightning, creating a dramatic atmosphere.The storm rumbles loudly, accompanied by bright flashes in the sky. Thunder and lightning create a frightening atmosphere, as brilliant, jagged lines of lightning streak across the horizon. Thunder warns us when lightning is near, roaring, echoing, cracking, and banging. A sudden cloudburst brings downpour quickly, drenching everything it touches and leaving puddles all around, splashing down on the ground.

Waves dance all around me. Splashing up against my body. The ocean roars it's mighty sound like rolling thunder, as the waves crash against the shore and flows up the beach before retreating. Thunderous waves breaking on the jetty. The golden smooth sand between my toes has a calming and relaxing effect on the soul. As I walk the beach leaving footprints behind me the ocean waves come to the shore to wash them away. Finding seashells, sea glass or driftwood that the tides bring to the shore. Exciting finds for all. Wild winds blowing across the ocean's surface causing waves to battle each other in a destructive powerful commotion. As I stand on the beach by the edge of the ocean, I feel the cool wind of the sea breeze blowing toward me. A refreshing smell of salt water in the coastal air. The radiant sun beaming down on my face is so invigorating and soothing, such a pleasant sensation. Oceans vastness and calmness can inspire feelings of peace, tranquility and well- being bringing a smile to my face. The ocean is ravishing when it is calm but also dazzling in the storm. The water glimmers and shimmers with shades of blue and white when sunlight hits it just right. The vibrant sea bustles with aquatic life, both marine animals and plants. Highlighting the sea's allure and hidden mysteries within this wonderful ocean. The picturesque sea is a lively and bustling place. Sometimes my mind wanders as I sit on the beach just watching the waves roll in. It is so captivating and mesmerizing. Waves create a rhythmic hypnotic pattern that is soothing to the body and mind. An everchanging sea scape is like a form of art that captures the beauty of the sea. Fascinating and mysterious, its unknown depths that are not yet explored. The sea creates the sound of calming white noise that drowns out other noises and distractions. The cries of sea gulls as they glide over the ocean in the strong wind. They symbolize freedom. Walking the pier leading to the ocean feeling the waves hitting the pillars below. Watching the people fishing or just relaxing, taking in the beautiful views. Observing some boats sailing by the breeze helps and glides them on the sea. They ride the ocean navigating the waves from small vessels to cargo ships. The ocean all around me as far as my eyes can see. Infinity.
