Somehow, I think we will need more chairs for 18 people…hmmm. Cross you fingers, as we haven’t had any showers for the whole month of April, so who invented that April shower thingy?  Maybe they are just gathering their water together to arrive soon, but I hope not.  Mama and papa have decided to go ahead with an Easter bash, serving salmon...

Haha, fooled you, maybe. That’s present present.   As in give one.  And I’ve been lying here for hours trying to think up one. Well, papa’s birthday is coming up next week, just before Bunny Day and I have no earthly idea what to get for him and I want to let him know how much I appreciate and love all the papa-snuggles he seems to never...

Let’s hear it for all the finalists in the Blogpaws contests!!! And I have, I hope, made friends with a little Therapy Rat.  Can you believe it.  He is so, so cute, this Oliver, from Healing Whiskers!  And the reality is that as a kitty, I really have to be open to OTHERS (read: rats, dogs, falcons, all of those supposed enemies of US) and I just...

Yep, spring is doing just that. Flower pots are getting planted. Pre-Bunny Day thingies are popping up in store windows. I hope this chickie laid chocolate eggs… Wine barrels along our street are getting dolled up. Yes, it’s pretty clear that we’re all bustin’ out all over. With exceptions… *****...

Yes, that’s who I am.  Garden Guard and Guru, Gazing and Grazing.  And sitting on these straw compost bags is the best place to keep those birdies from eating the kiwis and also to watch out for those kitties who appear to visit my garden at night–I can smell them in the morning and I am sure they just prowl around having a great time in MY...

WHEN ARE THESE GUYS GOING TO LEAVE ME ALONE TO NAP? Okay, okay, I’ll admit to being a bit…er…seductive with my mama and papa (but don’t they know it’s when dinner time rolls around, jeez!) and I realize that there are just some kitties who require up close and personal treatment and okay, I’m one, and I am AWARE that...

Selfie With Fava Bean Mama says HURRAH, time for planting, and of course she is just imagining the lovely tomato sauces and the fava beans with pecorino and the wonderful striped courgettes (zucchine-which, by the way, has an ‘e’, not an ‘i’ on the end) and maybe even a couple of squash flowers to stuff with mozzarella and an...

Hello, everyone!  After much deliberation, I decided to have a species change.  It was not easy, but I do love it that they were able to keep my paws pretty much the same, and my smile! HA HA HA!!! APRIL FOOLS!  But why can’t I stop this urge to herd sheep?...
