Two of the several sweet ferals who are fed and loved by mama and others. I am pretty sure that one of them is my cousin! Can you guess which, haha? Our show-off cormorant, who is impressing his harem as he dries his lovely wings. Or maybe he’s giving out info about where the little fishies are…hmmm. Our local Loulou…haha, c’est...

“Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” — Henry Ford Maybe this is like The Little Engine That Could, if anyone remembers that children’s book. But I loved this quote because the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. I think, haha. So I leave you today to ponder Henry’s wisdom. I wonder if he ever dreamed...

Wait a minute!! There is one BIG kitty in this garden and he is following me around and as you can see fron the slippers, NO ONE is protecting me from this creature! You just can’t find good bodyguards anymore… No matter, we are doing yet another Loonypic that we discovered and haven’t used called SPACE, which makes me look as if I am...

TURN OFF THAT RADIO! I’m about to play! Mama’s did these first three as I do not listen to the radio very often, or anything or anyone else, for that matter, haha (just kidding…I listen to my mama and papa as a good kitty does). Except “crackers”, which means dinner. Or breakfast. Or come inside, Loulou, it’s dark and...

Apres Vet… Well, today was get-vaccinated day for me, which happens every year, and my very kind vet, Dr Joubert, let me lounge at his feet while he went through my test results and declared me normal as apple pie, whatever that means. I think, being French, he might have said normal as a tarte tatin, haha. But mama and papa were worried because I...

Sheesh…faux paw, indeed! Well, mama thought that up and wanted to use it (I indulged her), but I see no relationship between that title and my little patty paws. What are you going to do when the assistant insists? And we did make a boo boo by not posting our spark for today until very late, and because the weather is so wintry, this is a sweet...

Well, I am just too pooped to pop, whatever that means, but today the SUN is out and I’m going for a stroll in the garden to see our lemon tree stripped of fruit. The garage is FULL of lemons. In bags, that is…but now we have to distribute them to friends and restaurants and shops, because there is only so much limoncello one can drink, haha! I...

Mama’s thoughts today. I’m taking the day off… 1. I am glad I got rid of _several truly dumb prejudices that had no basis and were not going to ever be useful in any way! Hope more bite the dust. 2. I wish I had kept __well, a couple of things that I adored but can’t remember what they were and so haha, I’m not going to worry...

Thank you, kitties everywhere, for simply being. Would that anthros could have your philosophical, often calmer view of the world and its problems and resolve those hassles with a good stretch in a sun puddle, a stretch and a stretch. ***** Au revoir, Lola. We are truly sorry to lose you, but we have you in our hearts forever… Thank you for all you...

This almost makes the day begin… Sure, I’m digesting, but where is my HEAD RUB. You know, the one I always get after breakfast (and dinner). Ahhh…a hand to the rescue. A little more to the back, no, a bit to the left, okay, now keep going until I say stop… Another perfect morning. Can’t wait until cocktail...

Today we wanted to post this very moving piece in honor of a great man. This is our spark. January 14, 2024 HEATHER COX RICHARDSON JAN 15 READ IN APP You hear sometimes, now that we know the sordid details of the lives of some of our leading figures, that America has no heroes left. When I was writing a book about the Wounded Knee Massacre,...

You’re supposed to look at a light to get endorphines in winter! Takes away the mood mangler of grey days. Rain, muck, cold, dark, a typical winter day. In sunny southern France, HAH! Well, bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, they’ll be sun…. We loved Annie. Hope this cheers everyone up a bit. As for me, I’m getting under my...

DO KIDS REALLY THINK UP THOSE THINGS? We had to put these in, from mama’s cousin, who often sends really funny starts to our mornings. MERCI. An elementary School Teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well- known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb....

Wordless Wednesday but let’s hear it for little mice! No words needed for this, vraiment! And I think there are some kitties out there who do something similar with their toys (or others’belongings!). Would love stories about this, but isn’t this little micey a cutie...
