Bonjour out there, everyone, on this sunny Sunday. I came inside to visit my couch and give my kitty whisperer a little soulful sample of when we used to be together when mama and papa went off to visit the Italian part of the family. I know my aunty Sue felt my presence because I […]
Well, I was offline on Thursday and almost today, too, so I hope you’ve received Thursdays thank blog, even if it is Friday! My WordPress was simply NOT there for a day or two…I thought I could fix anything now! But I conjured up a really good guru, Jorge Pires, and he fixed it FAST! […]
Think, think, think…. Today I am thankful today for brains! And well, I’ve been thinkin’. Not always a wise move, haha! Mama and papa are stalled on their trip because of weather and it’s not all that nice here in my waterlogged garden but what the heck. I’ll just think it through… Maybe thinking really […]
Well, bonjour, chers amies, I’m hanging out here in the colorful float I chose for Saturday. Isn’t it amazing what one can do as one continues just BEING, in whatever form that might BE, haha. A lovely spring-filled-flower-filled weekend to everyone and hope that basil seeds take root and rain lets up and gardens get […]
Well, while THEY are gallavanting on the way to visit those cutesy pootsy grandanthros instead of hanging out in MY garden, I’ll just slip in to my ex-hanging-out-place and grab a few winks, whatever they are. Today we are thinking that just waking up with a sweet thought for the day might be a good […]
Well, I suggested this “posed” selfie to mama, and voilá! Oh, mince, it is POURING out in my garden but of course I am waterproof, haha. And I must say the roses are lapping it up, so to speak, but still. It’s market day and no way is mama going out in this, NO WAY, […]
Hi, mama, I know you’re puzzled by my shadow but I’m right here saying hello on this rainy Saturday. BONJOUR! Well, today I’m floating around in our kitchen to see what simple recipes I can pick up to enhance your chilly week-end, but especially OURS, since it’s pouring cold rain and birds are […]
Well, mama’s taking over these filler today because I just want to fiddledydee in my garden in this nice weather. But mama is full of energy because she was accepted into the CWA and is tickled pink, whatever that means. 1. I find __TRUMP__________(more than!)____ offensive. 2. Maybe kitty/house sitting__ is a good way to […]
Having a little warm stepping stone moment with a bit of nip… Well, we are especially happy that mama’s sweet and lovely granddaughter has had tests and is FINE! We were a bit worried but no more! No matter what the tests were for—she’s FINE. And we are happy that Mr Terry is back home […]
Same old bird. We just LOVE this photo…. Today I am still blowing in the wind and wondering if it will ever settle, as it’s blowing the flowers off of plants that need flowers to morph into other things, like LEMONS! These winds usualy settle out after a few days so I’ll just go with […]
I wanted to reach out and touch someone today…I can do that, you know, to anyone I please. So cool…. This is Earth Day mama. Mama says that this link is a long read, but if anyone has time to even skim the article, the evidence of why Earth Day came into being and why […]
Saturday’s Selfie Okay, okay I’ll look at the camera! Sunday’s Selfie But I won’t be that happy about it! Well, dear friends, I’m just not quite used to this altered state. I completely forgot Saturday because my aunty Jacquie and Uncle Brian arrived to visit me us for a week and I was just too […]
I am a good listener, mama. You can learn a lot from kitties! A remake of __GIANT would be fun. (and challenging!) My favorite cartoon character is __any funny cat and anything in Peanuts. I wish I had better __listening skills so that I could LISTEN BETTER! (Loulou speaking) I’m proud of the progress I’ve […]
I am LOVING this garden…don’t even feel the gravel! Haha, bet you’re wondering what became of yesterday’s musings on the world, but hey, it was WORDLESS WEDNESDAY, haha.😻 (So nice to have an excuse for mama who completely forgot to get my opinions out there. Oh, well, I can forgive this oversight, or maybe it […]
It’s really fun floating aroud! Well, Twosday should actually read Gazillionday because I was first thinking about mama and papa, who are TWO, and then I started thinking about all of you who are such good friends, and that I wish to keep in touch, even from this mercurial state, whatever that is, and then […]
WOW, LOTS OF ACTION AROUND THESE PARTS! Well, today we have this to say: You just never know when an adventure will surprise you! ADVENTURE AT Les Hauts de Collioure: Mama and papa were visiting an elderly friend as they do on Saturdays and she had all of her doors and windows open to part […]
Captured in oils, my selfie at least is smiling. And here’s a fun read for your Sunday pre-nap! Let’s hear it loud and strong for us kitties! WE ROCK! Have a kitty-filled Sunday, dear friends. I’m busy reading this Guardian article for the third time….then a little shut-eye in the garden under the lemon tree. […]
My fave position, duh… Well, it’s obvious that I can’t fill these in, so you know who is doing it: 1. The last thing I cooked was __shrimp curry and chapatis. 2. When I go out to eat, my usual order is __anything new and different. Now I’ll take over: 3. I feel most comfortable […]
WOW! SO many of you saw the eclipse! Merci for all of the very good reports on your experiences. Maybe we’ll get to Spain in 2026 for the next one as it’s just 20 minutes from where we live to the border. (PS: That feather I am clutching was dropped in MY garden and I […]
Let’s hear it for TEACHERS! Well, this is a lovely, uplifting story. This dedicated woman is the kind of teacher all kids should have. Thanks go to teachers everywhere who take part in their students’ lives to the extent that the student comes away with a true sense of ethics and how to live in […]
Are there any? Donc, are there just some things in life that tickle you pink? Mama is really ticklish on her tootsies, but I’m talking about just being really surprised and amazed and delighted about something that you think about all day and say to yourself, WOW, was that wonderful, who knew? I think this […]
THINGS ARE: LOOKING UP! Well, here’s a thought. Especially important this week. LOOK UP! Mama has noticed that sightseeers in Rome or just about anywhere tend to look stright ahead or down (at what they might be stepping on, as cobblestones can throw one a curve, whatever that is and of course there might be […]
A little Lunapic montage of some of the places I have…er…watered, which is why we have THIS: But mama’s garden guru neighbor was showing her his broad bean crop that he planted in October (the best month to plant them) and mama was lamenting that she had only the little flowers because she planted […]
These fill-in spaces were GREAT, thank you fill-in-thinker-uppers! 1. I plan to __give papa birthday greetings in April. 2. My favorite kind of muffin is __well, not the kind that hangs over shorts or pants, haha 3. Nice things_ always seems to happen when I _least expect it. 4. Making mama and papa feel much […]
Well, we’ll start with this wordless ironing of papa’s jeans. It needs to be done correctly, n’est-ce paw? Segue… My Yoda impersonation (for Comedy Plus, haha), and then this…which “speaks” for itself, haha. Have a wild Wednesday – walk, watch, wish, wangle, write, wander, maybe even get in a little waltz, or something wacky🤸♂️!
Mama, that’s a stretch… Haha, get it? Think tank, thank tank? Okay…let’s move on. So many thanks to readers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there. Thank you, garden, for lovely early roses and radishes. Thank you, rain, for making the lemon food granules go into the ground without having mama dig […]
My Too Much pose… Sometimes there is just too much going on, mama says, and do you ever feel that way? This particular Tuesday was just FULL of appointments that took way too long to complete, one of which was waiting, waiting, all through lunch but mama and papa couldn’t leave until they had some […]
Our friend through blogging, Ms McNeil, sent words of comfort to us this morning from a song mama sang as a child. So lovely. Mama wants to say that certainly one does not have to be religious to have beautiful songs part of one’s life, and both mama and papa have their own beliefs […]
And this is the first (early!) rose of spring, and I have to take a bit of credit for it, called Sweet Love. Isn’t that a nice one to bloom first for all of us? When I say ‘credit’…uh…I wish to explain that my presence in my rose garden (a few weeks ago) demanded that […]
Uh, oh, mama is feeding the ferals….uh, oh. They are so darling but the multi-colored sweetie is so scared of mama and the other kitties. Always disturbing, as something or SOMEONE frightened her long ago. The others, and there are two more, just no pics yet, are so loving and wind around one’s legs and […]
Friday’s child is loving and giving…would that all dictators were born on a Friday, non? 1. I hope my mama’s Easter basket has __lots of deviled eggs in it. 2. March has been __so windy we cannot even stand up straight without holding onto a telephone pole, haha! 3. If there ever was a time […]
Well, we are so thankful today for, as usual, so many things. Let’s make it easy to think about. Thankful for: Heavy rain that took the lemon tree and rose food into the ground instead of having to cultivate it into the soil! Flowers everywhere, despite cold mornings, as daytime temp rises with Mr Sun. […]
Well, mama sort of made up our spark… What mews around, goes around, which is to say (and mama, it’s a stretch, but what the heck) that kitties bring joy and love and caring wherever they reign, so if you find a little mew-er who needs a home, do think about it. (I would paraphrase […]
Keeping an eye on things… Oh, boy, I saw that mama had such fun at the open market on Sunday, buying little marigolds for the garden and happily planting other posies in our small flower holders that greet people before they walk down to the front door. All I can say is, pauvres petites fleurs! […]
Bonjour, tout le monde. I’m just making a little visit on Sunday so that mama and papa know I am keeping watch over things. It’s my selfie but not a selfie, if you know what I mean, but I like visiting every now and then. It’s better than being mistaken for a sweater! Live well […]
