Scene: The gorgeous, brick-lined, deep-blue backyard pool.
Floating aimlessly with a chilled glass of rosè, listening to the birds scurrying back and fro, and watching the tree leaves wave at you in the afternoon breeze makes the perfect combo to believe, even if temporarily, you actually DO live in the Garden District. What a dream!
Until the day comes when you do actually have a house here, the least you must do is stay at Skye’s place. She’s communicative and welcoming, and has a nice little surprise for guests during their stay (I won’t ruin the surprise).
Olive, their black lab puppy, will also make you her best friend. Don’t bother arguing with her. Just let the puppy love wash right over you. And then go for another dip in the pool to cool off ahead of some delicious dinner on Magazine Street (we recommend Shaya).
