Well, we were feeling a little bright-light-ish today. This is Lunapic’s Neon effect. So who is this guy Art?

Sparkling Whine... - livingwithloulou.com
I VOTE FOR THAT! Just get on with it, right? ********** Monday spark: Never complain, never explain. Mama, for years, thought this was a saying of Henry Ford, who knows why, which is why we have put in the link to what it really means and where it came from. Personally, I think it is […]

Wordless But Wonderful - livingwithloulou.com
Today’s sweet story. What would you do? Maybe just let her pig out, haha. Kitchen advice until the right one comes along: the “baby” sprouts in last season’s garlic should NOT be cooked into dishes because they have an acrid flavor, but the garlic around the “babies”can be used. It’s just not as […]
Monday Madness - livingwithloulou.com
To thine ownself, be true. Mama loves this when she is flailing about trying to decide what’s right and wrong and up and down and backwards and forwards. Be it know, everyone, that Trump wants a THIRD TERM and is going to attempt to change laws to get it, by paying voters or other devious […]

Post nip? Whether to talk about weather, yet again?

To Bee Or Not To Bee - livingwithloulou.com
Well, in place of me you are getting a BEE, haha. We are thankful for bees! Mama finally snapped a pic of our humming polinator and we can’t figure out why he is the only bee around on those fava/feves beans (broad beans), but he has a feast of flowers before him! Maybe he just […]
Meaningful Monday - livingwithloulou.com
Mama forgot to do our Saturday sizzling selfie stuff….whatever…this ought to work…. 🌺🌺🌺 And our monday spark is this: Anyone who thinks he/she/it/they is/are too small to make a difference has never met a honeybee… And even though it is cold here and the chilly winds are strong, mama has big black bumble bee pollenators […]
Twinkling Tuesday - livingwithloulou.com
The NIP IS UP!!! Had to visit….(sniff sniff) Yay, yay the sun is HERE and everything is twinkling and happy!

Wish it were with […]
Sunday But No Sun...sigh - livingwithloulou.com

Functional Friday - livingwithloulou.com
Helping prepare the ground for spring planting, haha…. Well, being an angelic kitty, I feel that none of these fill-ins really applies to me since I am an anti-Kryptonite kitty for sure, never misplace anything and only can really fill in No. 3. So mama will take 1 and 2 and 4. 1.I can’t find […]
Thankful For Birdies - livingwithloulou.com
And not just any birdies! These birdies live at a marvelous restaurant/vineyard/winery near our little village and they are spectaular peepers and hooters. Mama and papa were there with a dear friend and those peacocks really let out some weird sqawks and the little rooster with feathered feet was truly a joy to watch. But […]
Wednesday Wish - livingwithloulou.com
Old photo but still… Mama wishes I were still there with papa and her because I could keep her in line, haha…. Mama says that she simply has to speak out when our so-called leader is breaking every law he can break and has no RESISTANCE! Okay…wordless Wednesday it is. But.. our wish is […]
Tuesday Tears - livingwithloulou.com
We kitties up here can snooze problems away on our clouds…wish anthros could do that on their endangered earth… Oh, but funds to aid climate change have been cancelled. There IS no climate change….
