Dog Days of Summer
As seen by Queen Grace
Long days, warm nights, and the steady flow of the Mississippi River all make the perfect setting for long naps under these mossy oaks. Summer days are perfect for a picnic on the front lawn or just sipping a cocktail and watching the tugboats go by.
My Sugar Palace has become quite a retreat these days. With the addition of our new Inn at Houmas House, now guests can enjoy the ambiance of the mansion and gardens through the night. And the early morning fog is quite a site as it covers the gardens.
There is still plenty of time to visit before summer comes to an end. Come sit-a-spell with me and enjoy these dog days of summer.
Love,
Queen Grace
