Tranquil on the terreau (dirt) Well, it’s so quiet and still today that I simply wish to rest near my hibiscus and meditate on summer life. Do you see me lurking on my dirt circle? And mama keeps asking, “Loulou, why do you want to hang out on DIRT when you have such nice mulch to sit on and scratch around...

Haha, bet you thought this was about a dog! Well, actually, I’m only a little sad about the incredible melons mama has put right under my nose. I actually licked a little bit and wow! But mama says that they are not really kitty food. The Cavaillon melons come from up the road in Provence and really...

Too hot to trot! Well, our winds are blowin’ again and much to mama’s dismay, they are blowing tomatoes right off their vines! I’d never heard of that but today it is 93F and the hot winds of Spain are whishing through our garden with full intent to lay waste the new tomatoes. BUT…the ones who resist and will not be moved by...

Well, I am smiling at this incredible story that Mya’s mama sent to me, about a Russian couple who adopted a baby bear, abandoned in the woods. There are several videos of this sweet bear on YouTube, and here is one. There are those who think he is really just a trained bear, but of course he is...
Read More🌸🌺🌼 With sad hearts, we send Caren from Cat Chat sorrowful hugs for the loss of Cody, so beloved to all of us. And this so soon after the loss of Dakota. How terrible it is when our furry family members depart, as we frail humans are really not prepared for the great losses of our dear friends. And we miss so deeply the joy to our lives that they have...

Contemplating my new sea creature… Well, on a scale, haha, of 1 to 10, whatever that means, I think my new fish toy is an 11 or 12! Mama got this creature in the mail (finally), plugged it in and then waited. Nada, zilch, it sat there staring at me with its fishy eye. Then PAPA...

Hey, I can do that! Well, I had thought to teach one of these classes but these guys beat me to it and they are doing a lot better than I — not sure I have the patience to Sun Salute with a large group of kitties. Especially when doing the Downward Facing Dog,...

Well, you see, when I am all stretched out like this on a cool terrace on this very hot day we are having, mama and papa cannot keep their hands off of me and caress and stroke my newly brushed pelt and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to say, “Hey, you guys, I’m snoozing here in this heat wave and could we shelve these silky...

HURRAH! Well, mama finally planted the LAST Gladiator seedling that appeared, along with the others, not to grow at all after three months in its seedling pot. But today he was put in place with his siblings, who have – get this – tripled in size and have tomatoes on their vines! ...

MY EARS ARE LISTENING… Well, I do have to practice my French sometimes, and this morning I woke up asking myself how all of you are faring out there wherever you are? And myself couldn’t answer because myself is not psychic, haha, so if you have any little tidbits of how you are coping...

Ticked off, but it’s not what you think, haha. Well, I’m ticking off things, one by one from my to-do list. Maybe we should start with the tomato harvest (I use the word loosely). (VERY loosely.) This is a 4-inch bowl. Duh,...

Well, not really, Just a bit worn out with all this celebration stuff. Papa made me wrap presents and sign cards and frankly, I’m bushed. Last night after the party I practically fell off the couch. But mama said it was the best ever, ever,...

PARTY TIME! Well, it’s mama’s birthday today but the really big surprise day was on Thursday last week when the most beautiful yellow hibiscus and two dozen roses (the color of the Roma team!) appeared at the delivery door and the owner of the store (who brought them herself) said, “Oh, you are so...

It’s even windy in HERE! Well, it is again blowing like crazy. I can’t even go outside because I would be blown away for sure. Where do these winds COME from anyway? This one is threatening to take mama’s tomato flowers off of the vines, arggggh. Which is what it did with the lemon flowers and now we have very few lemons for the next...

What did you say, mama? You want to see my work-out? Well, these pics I asked mama to take speak for themselves. THIS is MY idea of exercise, okay? And if you do it long enough, you just roll your rolls right off your body… Okay, everybody, and a one and a two and a three…ROLL ÉM! ...

YOU WANT ME TO HELP BURY GARBAGE? Are you NUTS? Well, FINALLY, mama’s video in which she shows you how to make an easy summer pasta sauce is up and running. And I emphasize the “finally”….it was a long haul this tine because mama accidentally put the video on...

You’d think she’d know how to type (and upload) by now… Well, mama often hits the “R” instead of the “T” when writing YouTube, and I am convinced that it’s a Freudian slip (whatever that is) because she thinks she’s a rube at YouTubing, if that makes sense. Mama is, as we speak, ATTEMPTING to upload...

I have to find just the right spot… Well, mama feels that the only big problem with this isolation is that she couldn’t plant any new roses the garden this year. There is a lovely rose lady near our village with five greenhouses from which mama found Sweet Love (her favorite) and several others some years ago, but due to strange weather and...

That is the question! Well, yesterday, mama found me rolling around in an open sack of kiwi vines and leaves she had just cut to prune the kiwis for better growth, and I was, to put it mildly, stoned out of my muzzle. And then mama researched this and found that the Chinese give kiwi...

STRETCH, STRETCH, STRETCH THOSE ADDUCTEURS! No, I am not eating peanut butter or mama’s almond butter or lisping and yes, I am talking haunches, which, in my case, appear to be slimming down just a tad. A tad being minuscule and very hard to see with the naked eye, but MAMA knows what a tad is and is proud...
