Yesterday was the hottest day of the year getting as high as 109 degrees. Naturally I thought to myself, “This seems like a good time to paint the sunniest part of the house”. I didn’t actually plan to paint the front of the house, I just sort of meandered into it. I was watering the plants, and just could not stop looking at the sun baked, cracked, and faded paint on the house. It looked pretty awful. It was around 11:30 when I was fully regretting my life choices. Thankfully I was done around noon and was able to get back in the house and drink a gallon of water. Today is going to be another hot one. I am going to try my hardest not to think about re-roofing the house. The roof is fine, but I don’t have full confidence in my choice of activities these days.

But that is just what happens to our humble lettering artist, Mila Breaux. When she is contracted to hand letter the menus for the newest Italian restaurant in her small town of Monchac, Louisiana, it isn’t all penne and chianti.
