(Extraterrestrials In The Abyss) *** In 1969, a strange man's disturbing "joke" about strangling a woman led to the unraveling of a horrific series of murders. Jerome "Jerry" Brudos, known as the "Shoe Fetish Killer," had been living a double life - family man by day, brutal serial killer by night.

I have the good fortune of living in a place that values public art -- art that anyone can see at any time of night or day-- and that, with its very presence, invites just a little curiosity in a way that you might imagine would appeal to me. So I was delighted when Tomora Wright Swann, Public Art Projects Manager of Arlington County (Va.) reached out -- and propelled me to connect with contributing artist Aurora Robson. When I visit other cities, one of the things I look for is iconic walking tours – the cisterns of Istanbul, the passages couverts of Paris, the murals of Philadelphia, New Orleans' Garden District. What a pleasure to talk with two people behind Arlington County's own art walking tours!

When burglars break into Hope Mausoleum and violate Crypt 1083-A, where the remains of the former Girod Street Cemetery are housed, New Orleans property crimes detective Thibodeaux “Bo” Duplessis is confronted with three confounding questions: Who are the burglars? Why did they break into the crypt? What, if anything, did they take?In need of expertise he does not possess, Bo turns to his childhood friend Bruneau Abellard, a cranky, overweight antiques dealer with exacting epicurean standards and a font of historical knowledge. Affecting annoyance, though privately intrigued, Bruneau agrees to assist with Bo's case. Together, the friends uncover a secret love affair between a famous antebellum actress, whose remains are contained in the crypt, and the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. As their investigation deepens, they find themselves confronting two separate yet entwined mysteries, two hundred years apart. To solve the present-day crime, they come to realize they must first unravel a conundrum from the distant, murky past.Set against the singular backdrop of contemporary New Orleans, with glimpses of the city during its “Belle Epoque” of the 1820s, The Lafitte Affair is populated with characters as eccentric as the city itself: a grand dame of the Garden District; a competitive female puzzler; a slippery con man; a giant hermit with a shrouded past; a pugnacious French bulldog; and a phantom thief who seems always two steps ahead of his pursuers. Looming over them all is the ghostly presence of the pirate Lafitte, a larger-than-life figure of seemingly endless contradictions.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

As a chef, Eric Cook is known for having lots of spice and flavor in his creations. The same can be said about his conversations. Cook – who owns Gris-Gris restaurant on Magazine Street in New Orleans' Garden District, as well as restaurant Saint John located along the streetcar line on St. Charles Avenue near Lafayette Square – has had plenty in the oven lately. That includes relocating Saint John from its original French Quarter location and putting together a book, “Modern Creole: A Taste of New Orleans Culture and Cuisine.” In an information-rich podcast, Cook talks to Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with Producer Kelly Massicot, about the joys of fishing; the challenges of the restaurant business; the wonders of oysters; why pompano is so special; and how to make “red gravy.” As for his new book, he explains his interpretation of “Modern Creole.” We know this for sure: It will have a good mix of culture and cuisine.

Federico, enters the ITBR to discuss queer elements in the third season of the American horror anthology television series “American Horror Story: Coven," and the drama series “Interview with the Vampire” based on the novel series “The Vampire Chronicles” by Anne Rice. Joseph and Andrew discuss the significance of the Coven House located in the Garden District of New Orleans, Louisiana which attracts many horror fans who dress up like witches to re-enact scenes from the show.    Andrew asks, “why do you think it is so important that women are the center of the witch narrative rather than bring in men as witches”? Joseph argues that “Coven” does call on men to “come out” of the “shadows," specifically queer men. Finally, Joseph and Andrew discuss that Lestat and Louis are not only seen as controversial for their erotic desire but also for being same-sex parents to Claudia. Joseph explains that what makes "Interview with the Vampire" so intriguing is how it's not only a horror novel but one that comments on society's homophobic attitude by centering on queer male vampires.

Our bucket list is full of exciting international destinations that we want to visit, but this past week we had to opportunity to cross off a location that has been on our list for a really long time.

So pack a bag and join us as we cross off this destination from our bucket list. We're certain that you are going to want to add it to your own list. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure. Where to stay If you plan to spend the majority of your time in the French Quarter then we would recommend along Canal Street on the French Quarter side, hotels include Ritz Carlton New Orleans, Wyndham New Orleans French Quarter, New Orleans Marriott, etc. If you prefer views of the Mississippi - choose The Hilton New Orleans Riverside, The Westin New Orleans, Four Seasons New Orleans, Intercontinental, Omni Hotel (mentioned on our haunted tour), Le Meridien and a Loews Hotel on that side of Canal Street closer to the water You could also stay at a B&B out in the Garden District - much more quiet - where people live. We would say that if you want to be right in the action, there is a Four Points by Sheraton right on Bourbon Street if you want to be right in the action but i wouldn't expect to get much sleep but you do have a good view of the action. Where we ate: Red Fish Grill Arnaud's Restaurant Broussards - brunch Drago's Seafood Restaurant in the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel Muriels's Jackson Square Cafe du Monde Ritz Carlton - breakfast Other Places to Eat that were recommended to us: Commander's Palace - make reservations as far in advance as possible - there is a dress code Brennnen's - make reservations as far in advance as possible Mannings owned by Archie Manning Felix's Oyster Bar GW Finns Central Grocery and Deli for the Muffaleta Pier 424 Seafood Market Oceanan Grill Deanie's Seafood Peche Seafood Grill Blue Oak BBQ Mahony's Po-boys and seafood What to do Tours are a must in New Orleans and there are so many to choose from.

Commander's Palace has been a New Orleans culinary landmark since it first opened in the city's Garden District in 1893. Once Ella Brennan and her family took It over in the 1970s, it became an international sensation, elevating Louisiana cuisine and launching the careers of chefs Paul Prudhomme and Emeril Lagasse. On this week's show, we celebrate 130 years of Commander's Palace by dipping into our archives to bring you Commander's stories past and present. We begin with the restaurant's Executive Chef Meg Bickford, the first female in 127 years to burst through the gender barrier and command the historic kitchen. There's an awful lot of talent and power in that tiny little frame. Then, we hear from Lally Brennan and Ti Martin, the ladies who have been at the helm of Commander's for over two decades. They discuss their relationship with the institution and share their experiences growing up as members of one of New Orleans' most famous restaurant families. Finally, Dickie Brennan shares memories of the early days of Commander's Palace, and how his dad, Dick Brennan, both invented the iconic jazz brunch and dreamt up some of the restaurant's most famous dishes.

Lauren Averill joins Tommy to talk about the recent crime in the New Orleans Lower Garden District. 

From the front of the house to the back, across Louisiana and the entire country, there is a substance abuse problem in bars and restaurants. On this week's show, we speak with Will Arendell, a renowned substance abuse counselor, who demystifies the psychology and physiology of addiction. We then meet two New Orleanians who have overcome a host of challenges to find success in food. Sam Caruso had struggled with drugs and alcohol for years before forging a new path for himself with Laozi Ice Cream. His French-style custard is a local favorite, which he sells out of the back of Blue Dot Donuts in Mid-City. For Martha Gilreath, her pop-up bakery Nolita represented a fresh start. In 2022, Martha met Sam in the rooms of recovery. That year, Sam invited Martha to sell king cakes from his Mid-City location.

From the front of the house to the back, across Louisiana and the entire country, there is a substance abuse problem in bars and restaurants. On this week's show, we speak with Will Arendell, a renowned substance abuse counselor, who demystifies the psychology and physiology of addiction. We then meet two New Orleanians who have overcome a host of challenges to find success in food. Sam Caruso had struggled with drugs and alcohol for years before forging a new path for himself with Laozi Ice Cream. His French-style custard is a local favorite, which he sells out of the back of Blue Dot Donuts in Mid-City. For Martha Gilreath, her pop-up bakery Nolita represented a fresh start. In 2022, Martha met Sam in the rooms of recovery. That year, Sam invited Martha to sell king cakes from his Mid-City location. Months later, she was named executive chef at The Chicory House in New Orleans' Garden District. Martha joined us in the studio to tell us about her journey.

From Twelfth Night though Mardi Gras Day, king cake becomes somewhat of a local obsession here in Louisiana. And over the last few years, it seems like the Carnival treat is simply on steroids! Across the state, bakers have expanded the design from the original brioche dough ring decorated with purple, green, and gold sugar to create cakes featuring every kind of filling – both sweet and savory. No one knows more about king cake than Matt Haines, author of "The Big Book of King Cake." Matt uncovered amazing historical facts and chronicled the lives and cakes of 75 bakers while writing his coffee table tome. For Martha Gilreath, king cake is more than just a seasonal treat. It represents a fresh start. In 2021, Martha co-founded her pop-up bakery Nolita, which serves up her signature king cakes. Today, she's the chef at The Chicory House in New Orleans' Garden District. She tells us her story of overcoming huge odds to find culinary success. Finally, we meet Patrick Bordnick. Like Pavlov's dog before them, Patrick's three canine companions have been conditioned to salivate whenever they encounter king cake. For nearly every day of the Mardi Gras season, Patrick and his pups sample a new cake and rate it. Patrick then posts their conclusions on his Instagram page, where the whole family enjoys a following. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

This year, Americans are expected to spend upwards of 3.4 billion dollars to decorate their homes for Halloween. But here in New Orleans, we don't have to decorate – we're just plain old spooky already! On this year's Halloween edition of Louisiana Eats, we go Garden District ghost hunting with Kristen Dugas before we welcome nationally renowned psychic Cari Roy – along with ghost-busting, equipment-toting Misti Gaither – into Poppy's Canal Boulevard home. The house was built for Angelina Prima in 1956 by her famous musician son, Louis, and she apparently still likes to hang around there. Finally, we stop off at two of New Orleans' Cities of the Dead with cemetery authority, Sally Asher, owner and operator of Red Sash Tours.

Listener Questions and Answers Today's episode is a question and answer show, where we answer questions from listeners like you! Time Stamps for Today's Show 05:42 - What is your favorite, casual restaurant right now? Narrow it to the Garden District? 06:48 - I'm hoping to visit New Orleans during the Christmas season. Are Reveillon dinners only offered on Christmas Eve or is typically the entire month of December? 08:32 - My question is, what are some things you are your family do to cope with the brutal heat of the summer months? 12:08 - How do locals feel about all of their “hidden gems” not being so hidden anymore? 15:08 - Has there been any update on the opening of the Backstreet Cultural Museum? 17:17 - Which swamp tours do you recommend? 18:46 - There's always lots of chatter online about increased crime. What's it like on the ground - are people feeling anxious about this, or is it status quo? 25:34 - I think it would be interesting if you mentioned some of your favorite books (fiction and non-fiction) about New Orleans. Books that really capture the city. 35:11 - A buddy and I are considering riding in this year's Krewe of Boo Halloween parade. Wondering if you might have any helpful tips for first-time, out-of-town float riders? Also, any favorite costume shops you can recommend in or around the French Quarter? 38:31 - My husband and I will be returning with our son (9) in mid-October. Anything specific to that time of the year that is great for families that love to have fun? 41:55 - If you ever want to talk mirliton I'm happy to help. 42:33 - Have you interviewed Jalence Isles? She is the founder of Where Black NOLA Eats and a serious champion of black owned restaurants in the city. 45:40 - I am an alum of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and would love to know more about the Gentilly Neighborhood and how it have changed over the years. 47:01 - My daughter and I love New Orleans. She loves New Orleans so much that she is starting at Tulane as a freshman this year! She moves in August 15th. My husband has never been to New Orleans!! I'm looking for suggestions of things to do that will show him how awesome the city is - while simultaneously escaping the heat. 48:33 - What if you covered a topic that's been done, like Mardi Gras - but from a different perspective? Have someone on from a krewe, and they can explain what it's like, how to join (can we live out of state?), what it means to be a part of their krewe. Even a few different people from different krewes… 49:40 – What about someone like Mason Hereford from Turkey and the Wolf. His cookbook just came out (just and he recently competed on Iron Chef? Not just him but Isaac Toups too. They worked together for raising funds for Ukranian refugees. 51:33 - I think a great topic for a future show would be uniquely New Orleans charities and non-profits. Bridge House Grace House comes to mind and so many others would be great to highlight and celebrate. There is so much good being done in our city 53:04 - Perhaps you could interview someone from the Krewe of Red Beans about their community work. 53:54 - What are a couple food/drink, New Orleans History and Voodoo/Ghost tours you would recommend? 56:43 - I've heard that taking a ferry ride to Algiers and walking the bank is a good way to spend an hour or two seeing New Orleans from a different point of view, but I've also read that the ferry schedule can be inconsistent and somewhat unreliable to plan a day around. What are your thoughts? 58:53 - I am a big planner- planning is part of the fun for me, even if we don't stick to all my plans. Many others, however, believe the best way to enjoy a few days in New Orleans is to go light on the planning and just let the trip happen on its own. What are your thoughts? 1:02:57 - Have you interviewed Sam Malvaney? He lives in the FQ and his home is called the Museum of Bad Taste. 1:03:20 - How did you start your podcast and what has been the best and worst things about it that you didn't expect? 1:07:49 - Is there TV or local icons that are New Orleans Legends ? Such as kids show hosts or guys that did local tv variety shows or similar? Who are celebrities that claim New Orleans as home that might surprise us ? 1:13:52 What's the deal with BIG SHOT soda? Was a New Orleans based soda company with flavors including grape, pineapple, strawberry, black cherry, root beer, creme soda and more. Now owned by a national company 1:15:25 - Is there something happening in town that's causing businesses to close besides the current economy? 1:19:43 - Been a yearly visitor since Mardi Gras 1990. Just got your book this week. It's a definite thumbs up! 1:19:52 - Someone in here asked about the history of the fleur de Lis in New Orleans. French, Italian, Catholic, French Canadian? I'd love to hear an episode on that. 1:20:13 - How easy/hard is it to get into Kermit Ruffin's Mother-In-Law-Lounge? Is it safe to travel to and more importantly from?

Our frequent guest Matt Moseley, author of the book Dear Dr. Thompson about Hunter's successful effort to free a Colorado woman from prison after her strange felony murder conviction, helps kick off our parallel podcast we're calling "District-to-District." Based in the District of Columbia and linked with the Garden District of New Orleans (where the HG studio is STILL under construction!), the podcast will look at how the Capital district connects with others. In this installment, Matt joins Curtis and Christopher finally recording live at poolside, and it's all about water. Matt has recently returned from swimming the Sea of Galilee (yes, that one) and is visiting Washington to educate lawmakers about water issues. His efforts were part of an American Rivers lobbing day and he also offers insight into the gonzo world of distance swimming, not to be confused with his other passion: endurance lunching.

Frank's longtime friend Gene “Bean” Baxter is filling in for Kathryn Frady today. Bean's podcast is “A Cup of Tea and a Chat with Allie and Bean,” which is found on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/allieandbean with a free weekly sampler on most major podcast apps including Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/A-Cup-of-Tea-and-a-Chat-Weekly-Sampler-Podcast/B08JJR7B6J For their 200th episode, Allie and Bean did a special livestream on YouTube.  Frank and Bean are big fans of Regis Philbin. Frank admires that Regis had many shows that were canceled before starting “Live with Regis & Kathie Lee” when he was 57 years old. Bean mentions that Frank emcees many events in the Knoxville area.  The Frank & Friends Show is a media sponsor of this year's Akima Cabaret, a fun night of musical comedy, presented by the Akima Club of Knoxville. This year's theme is “The Roaring ‘20s - When Decades Collide.” The Akima Cabaret  is at the Mill & Mine on February 18 and 19. Proceeds benefit dozens of area charities. Get your tickets before they're gone at https://www.akimaclub.org  February 12 was the 30th anniversary of the demise of the top-40 format on WAVA in Washington, the station where Frank and Bean first met as co-workers. David Edgar produced an hour-long farewell that the shares each year on social media. You can listen to WAVA's final hour here: https://formatchangearchive.com/the-final-hour-of-1051-wava-washington-dc/  Frank and Bean produced a one-hour show called “The 25th Hour” that aired on WAVA each year when Daylight Saving Time ended and the clock changed from 2:00 a.m. back to 1:00 a.m. Bean wonders if anyone cares about all this inside radio talk.  Frank will be a guest deejay on a show called “The Funhouse” on WUTK 90.3 The Rock at 8:00 pm. on Friday, February 25, 2022. You can listen online here: https://wutkradio.com/ Frank is worried that he can't think of any cool songs to play on the show. The one song Frank thought of was “Ma Tit' Fille” by Buckwheat Zydeco. Bean suggests a few other Mardi Gras songs.  Bean used to live in New Orleans and says that Mardi Gras is not just a bawdy celebration in the French Quarter. He says that Mardi Gras in the Garden District is family-friendly. A traditional Mardi Gras food is pancakes. Frank hopes that Bean will visit East Tennessee so they can go to some of the pancake restaurants in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.   Bean is gratified by how many fans of the Kevin & Bean show followed him to his podcast. Frank meets fans who wondered what happened to him after he left the station that they listened to in middle school and high school. Frank has a fan who texts him almost every day about either LakeFM or East Tennessee PBS Scholars' Bowl.  Bean asks if working on Scholars' Bowl helps Frank solve crossword puzzles. He also asks if Frank shares his crossword results like many people do with their Wordle scores.  Bean is shocked that Frank pays for a crossword puzzle subscription because Frank would never pay when they would go out for a meal with co-workers on the Kevin & Bean show.  Bean bought his house in New Orleans from Jay Thomas, who also did a radio show from that house. Frank worked as Jay's radio producer for a short time at KPWR.  This episode is sponsored by The Middleburg Barn at Fox Chase Farm.

In our market-driven economy, we have an innate belief that price and value are connected. The more valuable something is, the more it costs. But strangely, it doesn't always work that way. Take sodium for example. Sodium is vital to our very survival as human beings. It's essential for nerve and muscle function, and it plays a role in the body's control of blood pressure.  Most of our sodium comes from eating sodium chloride, better known as salt. We add salt to practically every food item we make. And - maybe because the human body is designed this way to keep us alive - when salt is missing from food, we think it doesn't taste right. And yet, despite the fact that it's one of the most valuable substances in our lives, next time you're at the supermarket take a look at the price of salt. It's extraordinarily cheap. Salt is a spice. Like salt, other spices are relatively cheap too. Because spices sell in small quantities and have low profit margins, it's difficult for a small spice company to survive. Barkley Rafferty is co-founder of Royal Merchant Trading, a New Orleans spice company whose plan for survival is a brick-and-mortar storefront. A spice store. In the Garden District, in a shopping center called The Rink. Although the Murray family's New Orleans' roots go back to the 1700's, in those 300 years, nobody in the Murray family made wine. In fact, very few people in New Orleans have ever made wine. After all, grapes don't grow here. In 2010 the Murray family bought a vineyard in Sonoma, California. The plan was to use the house on the property as a vacation home, and lease the grapevines to people who know something about making wine. That plan didn't exactly work out. 300 years of inexperience was quickly dispensed with and today the Murray family make 6 wines. Three cabernets, a Zinfandel, a Chardonnay and a rose – under the distinctly New Orleans label, Flambeaux Winery. Flambeaux Winery's wines are sold across the country in every state. And they've been recognized in all sorts of important places, including a Best Wine award from the prestigious Food & Wine magazine. New Orleanian Stephen Murray Jr. still doesn't refer to himself as a wine-maker, preferring the title “Wine Ambassador.” Stephen claims that while most of his family is on the production side of the business, he's on the consumption side. When you start a business there's no guarantee it's going to work. The one thing you can guarantee, however, is you're going to work. You work long hours, often including nights, weekends, and holidays. And you invariably find yourself having to come up with solutions to a myriad of problems you never knew existed. That's why the single most common piece of guidance to people starting a new business is, “Find something to do you really love.” Barkley Rafferty and Stephen Murray are both great examples of the benefits of taking that simple business advice. And although happiness isn't a line item on a balance sheet, it's definitely a contributing factor to over-all success. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at NOLA Pizza in the NOLA Brewing Taproom. You can find photos from this show on itsneworleans.com by Jill Lafleur. And while you're making dinner with spices from Royal Trading and sipping on your Flambeaux wine, check out this podcast about the future of charging your cell phone and your EV.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Berthe's life story is incredibly moving. She was born in Utrecht in the Netherlands. She married a judge named Dirk Hoola van Nooten who secured a position in the Dutch colony of Suriname SurahNAM in South America. The couple frequently traveled between Jakarta and Suriname. Along the way, Berthe collected and drew plant specimens which she would send back home to the botanical gardens in the Netherlands. By the mid-1840's the couple moved to New Orleans to establish a Protestant school for girls on behalf of the Episcopal Church. But in the summer of 1847, New Orleans was ravaged by an epidemic of yellow fever that wiped out ten percent of the population. After the yellow fever claimed Dirk's life, Berthe was left to fend for herself and her five children at the age of thirty. She attempted to open another school in Galveston but was unable to pay her creditors. Eventually, Berthe joined her brother on a trip to Java. There she opened another school, but she also had a patron in Sophie Mathilde, the wife of William II (Netherlands). The result was her masterpiece - a collection of forty plates of her botanical art - called Fleurs, Fruits et Feuillages Choisis de l'Ile de Java or Selected Flowers, Fruits and Foliage from the Island of Java (1863-64). Berthe's work was dramatic, featuring rich colors and bold illustrations. Most Europeans had never seen such magnificent plants. In the introduction, aware of her station as a woman and penniless widow during the Victorian age, Berthe apologized for her daring attempt at creating such work, writing, You may not, like myself, have tasted the bitterness of exile… you may not, like myself, have experienced, even in the springtime of life, the sorrowful separation from home and country – the absence of the friendly greeting, on a foreign shore… Death may not have snatched away from you, the arm which was your sole support… bereavement may not have entered your dwelling, like mine, as with one sudden stroke to tear away the veil of sweet illusions, which, as yet, had hidden from your eyes the stern realities of life – to place you, with a lacerated heart, a shrinking spirit, and a feeble and suffering body, before an unpitying necessity, which presents no other alternative than labour. In 1892, Berthe died impoverished on the island of Jakarta. She was 77.   October 12, 1844 Birth of George Washington Cable, American writer, and critic. A son of New Orleans, he has been called the first modern southern writer. Despite being a German Protestant, instead of French Catholic, George understood Creole culture and is most remembered for his early fiction about his hometown, including Old Creole Days (1879), The Grandissimes "Gran-DE-seem" (1880), and Madame Delphine "Delphine" (1881). Today the George Washington Cable House is open to visitors. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1962. Located at 1313 8th Street, in the Garden District of New Orleans, the home features gardens that George designed. In fact, The neighborhood is known for outstanding restaurants and beautiful gardens. The beauty of New Orleans inspired George, and he was especially fond of nature and gardens. In The Taxidermist, his story begins with these words, One day a hummingbird got caught in a cobweb in our greenhouse. It had no real need to seek that damp, artificial heat. We were in the very heart of that Creole summertime when bird-notes are many as the sunbeams. The flowers were in such multitude they seemed to follow one about, offering their honeys and perfumes and begging to be gathered. Our little boy saw the embodied joy fall, a joy no longer, seized it and, clasping it too tightly, brought it to me dead. He cried so over the loss that I promised to have the body stuffed. This is how I came to know Manouvrier “Man-vree-yay,” the Taxidermist in St. Peter Street. In My Own Acre, he wrote, A garden, we say, should never compel us to go back the way we came; but in truth, a garden should never compel us to do anything. Its don'ts should be laid solely on itself.  “Private grounds, no crossing”–take that away, please, wherever you can, and plant your margins so that there can be no crossing. Wire nettings hidden by shrubberies from all but the shameless trespasser you will find far more effective, more promotive to beauty, and more courteous. “Don't” make your garden a garden of don'ts. For no garden is quite a garden until it is “Joyous Gard.” Let not yours or mine be a garden for display. Then our rhododendrons and like splendors will not be at the front gate, and our grounds be less and less worth seeing the farther into them we go. Nor let yours or mine be a garden of pride.  And let us not have a garden of tiring care or a user up of precious time.  Neither let us have an old-trousers, sun-bonnet, black fingernails garden–especially if you are a woman. Finally, in The American Garden, he wrote, One of the happiest things about gardening is that when it is bad, you can always–you and time–you and year after next–make it good. It is very easy to think of the plants, beds, and paths of a garden as things which, being once placed, must stay where they are; but it is shortsighted, and it is fatal to effective gardening. We should look upon the arrangement of things in our garden very much as a housekeeper looks on the arrangement of the furniture in her house. Except buildings, pavements, and great trees–and not always excepting the trees–we should regard nothing in it as permanent architecture but only as furnishment and decoration. At favorable moments you will make whatever rearrangement may seem to you good.   October 12, 1895    Death of Cecil Frances Alexander, Anglo-Irish hymn writer, and poet. She wrote over 400 hymns. In addition to There Is a Green Hill Far Away and the Christmas carol Once in Royal David's City, she wrote All Things Bright and Beautiful. Here are the garden and nature-related verses, along with the refrain at the end. Each little flower that opens, Each little bird that sings, He made their glowing colours, He made their tiny wings. The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one; The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows for our play, The rushes by the water, To gather every day; All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small, All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.   Unearthed Words The name of the zoo was the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. As I crossed the parking area, I prepared myself for disappointment. I am going to see a collection of snakes, lizards, and miserable creatures in jars, feel terribly sorry for them and leave. It was October 1991. I was Terri Raines, a twenty-seven-year-old Oregon girl in Australia on an unlikely quest to find homes for rescued American cougars. A reptile park wasn't going to be interested in a big cat. I headed through the pleasant spring heat toward the park, thinking pessimistic thoughts. This is going to be a big waste of time. But the prospect of seeing new species of wildlife drew me in. I walked through the modest entrance with some friends, only to be shocked at what I found on the other side: the most beautiful, immaculately kept gardens I had ever encountered. Peacocks strutted around, kangaroos and wallabies roamed freely, and palm trees lined all the walkways. It was like a little piece of Eden. ― Terri Irwin, Steve & Me   Grow That Garden Library Carving Out a Living on the Land by Emmet Van Driesche ("DRY-sh") This book came out in 2019, and the subtitle is lessons in resourcefulness and craft from an unusual Christmas tree farm. Well, I have to confess that I'm a huge fan of Emmett's YouTube channel. He does everything that he's talking about in this book - Even carving his own spoons. But what I especially love about this book is learning about what it's like to be a Christmas tree farmer. I find this fascinating.  (And to me, this book is an excellent option for a Christmas gift. So keep that in mind as well.) Now what Emmett is writing about is simplicity - living a life that's in tune with nature,   A life that is away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the daily grind. Emmett is busy,  but he has plenty of time to do the things that matter - Even pursuing his favorite pastime of spoon carving. Now I have to confess that I discovered a very pleasant surprise when I started reading Emmett's book; he's an excellent writer. And I wanted to give you a little taste for his writing, a little sample.  Just by reading what he wrote in the introduction to his book. He wrote, The air is cold enough for my breath to show.  But I'm about to break a sweat.  I'm harvesting balsam branches, grabbing each with one hand and cutting them with the red clippers in the other. ...I work fast and don't stop until my arm is completely stacked with branches and sticking straight out, and I look like a kid with too many sweaters on under his jacket.  Pivoting on my heel.  I stride back to my central pile of balsam boughs and dump the armload on top, eyeballing it to gauge how much the pile weighs.  I decide I need more and head off in another direction into the grove.   The balsam fir grows from big wild stumps and thickets that can stretch 20 feet around, the trees crowded so closely together, in no apparent order or pattern, that their branches interlock. Instead of single trees, each stump has up to three small trees of different ages growing off of it. They are pruned as Christmas trees, and I am a Christmas tree farmer.   Isn't that fascinating? Well, this book is 288 pages of self-reliance and the Christmas spirit. You can get a copy of Carving Out a Living on the Land by Emmet Van Driesche and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $13.   Today's Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart October 12, 1907 On this day, a 41-year-old Beatrix Potter wrote to Millie Warne, the sister of her publisher, friend, and former fiance Norman Warne (who died two years earlier - a month after their engagement - at the age of 37). Beatrix wore Norman's ring on the ring finger of her right hand until she died three days before Christmas in 1943 at the age of 77. My news is all gardening at present and supplies. I went to see an old lady at Windermere and impudently took a large basket and trowel with me. She had the most untidy garden I ever saw. I got nice things in handfuls without any shame, amongst others a bundle of lavender slips ...and another bunch of violet suckers. Incidentally, twenty years earlier on this day, in 1887, that a 21-year-old Beatrix drew her first fungus, the Verdigris Toadstool "Vir-dah-greez" (Stropharia aeruginosa).   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Quote: “In December I asked @Facebook and @Instagram to take action on lies about COVID and vaccines,” the pop star tweeted, before noting that U.S. president Joe Biden and the U.S. surgeon general Vivek Murthy “have finally called for action....So why do they still refuse to act?” In December, Gomez tweeted: “Scientific disinformation has and will cost lives. @Facebook said they don't allow lies about COVID and vaccines to be spread on their platforms. So how come all of this is still happening? Facebook is going to be responsible for thousands of deaths if they don't take action now!” Biden recently said Facebook was “killing people” but later said the company was not directly responsible. In a statement, Facebook said “since the beginning of the pandemic we have removed over 18 million instances of COVID-19 misinformation” and said it has “labeled and reduced the visibility of more than 167 million pieces of COVID-19 content debunked by our network of fact-checking partners so fewer people see it and — when they do — they have the full context.”   https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/selena-gomez-calls-out-facebook-over-vaccine-lies-1.15683623   A fire at a New Orleans mansion connected to Beyoncé might have been deliberately set, according to a report. Flames broke out Wednesday evening at the 95-year-old home in the city's Garden District, which was purchased for $2.6 million U.S. in 2015 by Sugarcane Park, a company registered to Beyoncé's management company Parkwood Entertainment LLC. According to nola.com, the fire began in the kitchen, where investigators found books inside an oven and a gas can. The smoke alarm went off at around the same time someone reported a suspicious person in the area. Parkwood Entertainment did not respond to a request for comment from nola.com and Beyoncé's manager said he was unaware of the fire and declined comment.   https://www.iheartradio.ca/news/fire-at-mansion-linked-to-beyonce-may-have-been-arson-1.15683477  Thanks to John R.
