This was my 2nd stay with Betsy and I’m already missing her porch. As great as NOLA is, its voodoo’s got nothing compared to the magic of Betsy’s porch. It’s charm can’t be captured in a photo. You need to feel the bayou in the air while looking out at green moss covered oaks, stretching across Ursuline, and breathe in the aroma from the magnolias and listen as the wren curses the crow all while laid back with a cool drink in a red rocker under the fan, and dragonflies dance to the wind chimes as the lightning fast lizards play chase. And then Max comes along for a quick pet before laying back on the cool porch steps... even then, there isn’t anything like sitting with Betsy because then, that’s when the magic happens. I will forever be grateful to the Universe for bringing her into my life, and sharing a bit of her magic with me. 💛 (Plus her home is in an AMAZING neighborhood, very safe, convenient walking distance, plus public transport is around the corner along with great local restaurants and coffee shops, plus a beer/wine garden with a throw down crawfish dinner on Sundays. Just book it, you won’t regret it!)
