Is this wet weather EVER going to stop? Well, it’s hard to get excited with all this rain keeping me out of my favorite sunspots, but I have decided to direct a film indoors. Mama is going to do a video of making focaccia so that everyone can see how EASY it is and start baking it during this...

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahhhhhh…. Well, this is really fun to watch, especially the kids’ faces in response to the…er…surprise cafeteria event. You may have seen this before but mama loves it. A little music lift for your distanced day… Mama says they certainly didn’t do things...

I started wiping off my cellphone, too. Well, once again, Jan’s thoughtful brother sent information about COVID-19 and your smartphones. We didn’t even think of it, but then again, we don’t see ANYONE up close and personal. And if mama and papa go for a short walk, they walk REALLY FAR AWAY...

I hope I remember the chords….and that title could have been Weight a Menudo, haha! Well, around here it feels as if I am losing grams every few seconds! Does it really take STARVATION to be svelte? I think not. AND, just this morning I played with mama on the bed before my petit...

Mama, is this my knee? So, deja vu, whatever that is. All I know is that I have been here, done this! It’s POURING RAIN again, but mama says it’s good for the earth she uncovered when she pulled out the broad beans, so I’ll take her word for it. And sorry to cut this short,...

Hmm…I wonder if some sweet person would like two lovely kitties?

We are so, so happy that the darling Marcus found...

🌺🌺🌺 I may looked puffed up to some, but it is purposeful! Well, here is part of a lovely email about Marcus, from Mr Doug, Jan Price’s brother. It must be difficult organizing so many emails and blogs and the richness that Jan’s life produced. He was kind to answer my question about dear Marcus, for...

I just can’t figure out what to say when mama goes nuts sometimes… Okay, I think we need some rules around here. Mama is going off the deep end or around the bend, or wherever it is you go after several weeks of isolation, but I guess you could say that a little humor (sort of) inserts itself from time...

I just about fell off the couch giggling when I saw this! Please forgive me for this one. I just had to laugh when mama showed me this funny video, and I hope it doesn’t offend anyone, but it’s one of the great laughs we have had in this stressful time. Yes, even kitties feel the difference....

Wet and wild around here. YOU CANNOT BELIEVE THE WATER COMING DOWN OUTSIDE!!! I am nowhere near it, of course, warm and comfy on my couch and hoping to stay there without being SNUGGLED. Don’t these guys have anything ELSE to do? But, Loulou, you...

Do birdies get wet in rain? So here’s the question: what do birdies eat and where do birdies go in the rain, of which we have a lot today! I know where I go, which is NOT outdoors because mama doesn’t want me to catch whatever it is you might catch in rain. I happen to not catch ANYTHING very well, so I’m not too worried. I tried to...

Mama’s making curry so I’m doing a fast blog in hopes of getting a bite of the chicken before it is hit with Indian spices! MR/MS SUN finally came out and I find a sunspot wherever and whenever possible! ...

MAMA, how long do I have to keep shelling? Well, here we are, all of us in this together, so today I will borrow from Atcad and simply share some lovely spring plant photos with you instead of meaty, pithy, in-depth thoughts about the state of our world… If you have never gardened, mama says to plant...

Okay, okay, it’s old photo time but also that time of year again, and we are so GLAD that at least we have broad beans in the garden if nothing else! Mama planted only about a six-foot line of beans last October (as the moon waned – advice from our guru neighbor, Jean Riere) and...

What do you think? Yesterday, a dear friend and classmate of mama’s (who lives in Washington close up and personal to politics) sent her this. It was refreshing to hear the sanity in Republican ex-President Bush’s address to the nation (2005!) concerning a possible future pandemic. A few days...

I could have had just a teensy teensy bit more, no? Well, we celebrated papa’s birthday pretty well, with me getting a TINY morsel of papa’s special grilled lamb but mama (probably guilty) did manage to share the Manchego cheese with me… I tell you, my birthday is coming up in July and I’m...

Well, I have to thank Ernie (from Island Cats) today for giving me a subject for my blog since mama didn’t seem to be able to COME UP WITH ONE! Okay, okay, she was getting ready for papa’s birthday but hey, which comes first, I ask you? And I’m isolated here in the RAIN and can’t commune...

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! Well, just wanted to put a sweet image in my blog in case you don’t have colored eggs or flowers or bunnies hopping through your yard. We certainly don’t, Now I’ll tattle on mama. One Easter she offered her guests little crisp morsels of fried rabbit in Marsala and toasted pine nuts (which, by the way, is a...

I know that grey kitty is out there, but where? You know, there is actually a tulip in our garden but it has not shown its pretty little head yet. And there was its partner just a couple of weeks ago that did show its Roma colors, red and yellow (or Catalan, take your pick) and both were a...

Sniff, sniff…nice nip…. Now that we have lovely golden light so late in the day, mama wanted to put in a few garden pics to brighten your morning or whenever it is my blog appears in your area. Mama can’t go out much to till the north 40 because of our strong winds that...
