Living with Loulou
A French kitty comments on just about everything.
Merci For Friends
Well, mama is feeling lately that friendship and kind and caring people are just about the best strength she has against this monster who is about to disrupt your Social Security, your voting rights and so much more to come…Thank you for bearing with us as we rant and rave! And thank heaven for this brave Senator. Twenty-four hours of brilliance and bravery. So many people now are holding Town Halls in red states …

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 mild as the new garlic, which will begin to come in toward summer unless you can get garlic from...

I am putting my paw down for mama to get her planting done NOW so that there will be things to eat in summer!!!! Not that I eat tomatoes but still….and I can water them while she’s away, heh heh…. 
Well, mama has to plant a lot of things befoe taking off to see stepkids and stepgrandkids in Italy and she’s starting with baby radicchio from a friend who gave her seeds bought...
Monday Madness
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 means. Okay, I’ll stop, but things are getting WAY out of hand…. ****** On another note: Okay, dear readers, …

Happy Anniversaurus to papa and mama who met on this day long ago. Anniversaurus is from a long-ago sweet anniversary card with two long-necked dinosaurs entwined to make a 
. So since then mama and papa just say Happy Anniversaurus for…you know…that other word. Mama says that there is not enough room on my blog to say all the lovely things she would like to say about meeting papa and having these sweet years with...
Wind-ing UP
Post nip? Whether to talk about weather, yet again? We have really HIGH winds that are bending the trees almost halfway down and mama finds it not so easy to garden as her hat keep ending up in the neighbor’s yard! Today visitors come for two days and have brought, they hint, wine from Portugal…mama is going to cook up something to go with it so that’s one of today’s projects, after a drawing class...

I am doing the first three: 1. I like to pretend ___that I am a tiger, all striped and creeping through a jungle but then I wake up…. 2. Why anyone wants to __be a DOGGY is beyond me, but I do understand! 3. I have a lot in common with ___TIGERS, haha. And other Tuxies Mama’s turn: 4. I tend to be optimistic about __almost everything but pessimistic when it comes to __what the...

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 let it drop that there was no action in our garden this year, haha, so he has the cafe all...

Twinkling Tuesday
The NIP IS UP!!! Had to visit….(sniff sniff) Yay, yay the sun is HERE and everything is twinkling and happy! Birdies at the feeder, little white border flowers doing their bordering, broad beans getting bee-ed, lemons languishing, wild asparagus wobbling, rosemary rampant, lavender so lovely, all’s well in the garden. Wish it were with the world… Still, we are tickled on Tuesday, as always… 
And the beet goes on….. Simmer fresh beets, cut...
