| Prairie Ronde is at the crossroads of 104 and 103. 103 North is a nice side trip, a-hoom, nice road with a church and an old house along the way. 103 going south takes you back to US 190. We have a lot of Cedar trees down here. I wanted to fully label that picture of the tree behind the sign. I know I saved myself from having to answer a bunch of tree questions. |
| That house had to be designed by some SLI architecture student back in the 30's. I don't know what to call it. I like it. See the bathroom on the right side with the high windows for light. It has a slanted roof covering it. Was there a problem with the bathroom's flat roof? Was there a problem with the window above the slanted roof? Pretty neat. Praire Ronde. |
| Just down the road is this beauty. Taking the house's picture was a second thought. What I really liked were the "out buildings" on the side of the property, pictured below. |
| You would never guess you were in the middle of a prairie. Trees were grown around the houses or the houses were placed where there were trees to block the wind and offer some shade. This picture is so typical. The house is just to the right through the trees. |
| Scarecrow. I showed this picture to Ray in Mississippi and he asked if those were bleachers back toward the barn. I didn't know, I thought it was a cattle guard that had been propped up to keep it from rotting. Now I'm not sure. There are several things I was thinking that bleachers could have been used for, neither good. No, it's a cattle guard. |

| Leaving Prairie Ronde, I swear the highway rose three and half steps right out of town. Actually, I think it was the new highway surface overlay. The road did get better as witnessed to the right. Left St. Landy Parish, entered Evangeline. Crossing bridges requires stopping because as I have preached and preached, stuff is by the water. Again, I would be proven right on. |
| This was someone's special place. I know whoever it was wanted all visitors to know what was written on that barrel blocking the driveway. I ventured forth in that "need to know" spirt. My cousin-in-law says the guy must be a curmudgeon. Yea, I had to look it up. Ever hear of an old "Cur"? Maybe that's where it comes from. He's from up north and they use muti-syllable words a lot. They have time to learn that stuff since they have to stay in the house for 9 months due to bad weather and such. Of course speaking with long words helps pass the time, also. Hey Dell. |
| I guess that "No Noth'N" covers "Two Wheel'N". I was crushed. |
