perks and unperks
Living in New Orleans has a lot of perks and a lot of things that aren't so perky.
For instance, after our nice week of winter around Christmas, it is now a pleasant 60's-70's. This is a perk. What is unperk about it is 80-95% humidity all the time, making it feel damp and thick, which makes my head feel damp and thick.
The ultimate perk about living in Louisiana in the beginning of January, though is fresh strawberries!!!!
That's right. The first strawberries of the season are ripe, sweet, and delicious. True, the season doesn't pick up in full force for another couple of months, but somehow the first taste of the season cannot be beat. I'm loving it!
