Homewood May 2019 Yard of the Month: 9545 Macedonia - Michelle & Loren Durant
Michelle celebrates her home winning Yard of the Month – after all, it was 5 o’clock somewhere. Michelle was born and raised in New Orleans. She met Loren at college in Ohio. Loren is a former policeman and now has a window cleaning business, Lighthouse Glass Cleaning. Michelle is a Master Gardner & Gourmet cook. In the backyard they raise a vegetable garden and have a few fruit trees. They moved to Baton Rouge 23 years ago to this location, and she home schooled her son, Christian. Michelle picks, cans or freezes the vegetables, cooks fruits or vegetables in season, sells her merchandise under the name Mimi’s Louisiana Kitchen. She makes a dyno mite Philadelphia Cream Pie big enough for a crowd.
