Wow what a change in the overnight temperature got up at 4:30 this morning and 42f outside(68 F yesterday morning at this time), No problem just fired up our Blue Flame and in no time a comfortable 72 inside. Nice that sun rises so early and can get out for a nice walkabouts and no wild animal attacks this morning too, a real bonus!
First time we went outside noticed a bunch of the ducks had camped out right beside us looks like they spent the night here.
 |
| our own duck family right here |
We decided this morning to take drive down to Ocean Springs and check out the harbour on our way to Biloxi. Only about 4 miles away. Suzie spotted a Saturday morning outside market, so a quick trip around the block. Parked the car and wandered over to check it out . We do enjoy local markets never know what we will find.
This was nice local market with some inserting finds.
 |
| cool but at least a sunny day |
Lots of interesting things to check out.
 |
| we just had to try these Shrimp Corn Dogs, |
 |
| these were excellent, very tasty |
A few more interesting things to check out but nothing more we wanted, or needed. Shrimp corn doges for breakfast did the trick.
 |
| nice looking fresh produce too |
 |
| egg rolls looked good but we abstained |
 |
| the original TIN MAN? |
 |
| a bottle tree? |
 |
| a nice local market the kind we enjoy |
Now heading through Ocean Springs to the gulf and the harbour. Love the drive past the older buildings and the roads covered with these amazing live oak trees, so mysterious looking.
 |
| looking like New Orleans influence |
 |
| the streets covered with live oak trees love them |
 |
down by the gulf new homes rebuilt on stilts
now ready for the next hurricane |
 |
| nice new piers |
 |
| the bridge over Biloxi Bay |
Down by the harbours lots of shrimp boats selling fresh shrimp, but we have no fridge room for more and we have another plan.
 |
| wish we were here longer |
 |
| another time |
 |
| lots of wonderful yachts here as well |
We did a lot more today but will leave that for tomorrows posting, we headed up back home by 1 pm for a light lunch and relaxed out side on this wonderful sunny day only 60F but very comfortable in the sun. Got to read for a while putter around a couple of walkabouts enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.
 |
a pretty decent day , not for shorts but
the sunshine was welcome |
 |
| these ducks are everywhere here |
 |
| gotta love the warm sunshine |
 |
| more ducks |

That was our fun day and another fix of fresh catfish that we love. Warm and sunny just a bit cooler than we like. Heck much nicer that back home though.

DeleteShrimp corn dog well it looked really good but I guess I'll have to take your word for it. Nice little market place.
ReplyDeleteYes Jo there were quite tasty , a large shrimp deep fried with a cornmeal batter.
DeleteLooks like a great area your in now, glad your enjoying yourselves. Love local markets!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun area we enjoy seeing and as always enjoying life. Nothing like local markets to get some local; flair
DeleteThe outdoor market appeared to have a good variety. I enjoy going to them. The live oak trees are amazing.. so grand! Did you buy the catfish locally? I would love to get a package of that as we pass through there in the spring.
ReplyDeleteThe market was very nice we enjoyed it Love the live oak trees too all over this area. This catfish I bought is local from the Walmart not far but we also went to a seafood market that is amazing I will post that today.
DeleteLove the large oaks also down the streets of the towns. Mobile is probably the most impressive, that I have ever seen. Would love to be able to go down the street in the middle of the heat of the summer. Markets are always fun to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThese live oak are so nice and different. It would be a treat to enjoy them in the heat if the summer.
DeleteI just love the fry daddy. Got to get one. You always seem to find the best farmer's markets.
ReplyDeleteWe have enjoyed our Fry Daddy for a lot of years, makes some tasty meals for us.
DeleteWe do stumble across some nice farmer's markets in our travel.
I think those attack ducks looked pretty dangerous to me. I guess you're lucky they were so sleepy so you escaped with your life... :cD
ReplyDeleteThey can be dangerous but like you said I was lucky and did manage to escape with my life. LOL..
