A green algae laden water feature to some o.c.d...er's may cause alarm but to me it causes reflection.
I was Born in Plaucheville, Louisiana and raised in New Orleans and at one time lived in an old house that housed our family and an old fashioned ice cream parlor that my mother managed. It was called the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor and was located on Washington Ave. just off St. Charles Ave. and two lots away from Commander's Palace restaurant, Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse's old employer. Located across the street was a cemetery where I would play hide and seek in the empty grave sites with my brothers and sisters.

I spent many an afternoon gazing at the soft green moss laden bricks that covered the walls of our back yard fence. It is this soft, moist picture that my mind painted years ago and this soft green I see as I gaze at the algae growing on the water urn in my backyard. Bringing back to me a flood of memories.
