Well, while THEY are gallavanting on the way to visit those cutesy pootsy grandanthros instead of hanging out in MY garden, I’ll just slip in to my ex-hanging-out-place and grab a few winks, whatever they are. Today we are thinking that just waking up with a sweet thought for the day might be a good Monday spark. For example, mama woke up with...

Well, I suggested this “posed” selfie to mama, and voilá! Oh, mince, it is POURING out in my garden but of course I am waterproof, haha. And I must say the roses are lapping it up, so to speak, but still. It’s market day and no way is mama going out in this, NO WAY, Jose, whoever that is. Have a cozy, warm Sunday (well, those who are now...

    Hi, mama, I know you’re puzzled by my shadow but I’m right here saying hello on this rainy Saturday. BONJOUR! Well, today I’m floating around in our kitchen to see what simple recipes I can pick up to enhance your chilly week-end, but especially OURS, since it’s pouring cold rain and birds are getting slapped in the...

Well, mama’s taking over these filler today because I just want to fiddledydee in my garden in this nice weather. But mama is full of energy because she was accepted into the CWA and is tickled pink, whatever that means. 1. I find __TRUMP__________(more than!)____ offensive. 2. Maybe kitty/house sitting__ is a good way to make some extra cash. 3....

Having a little warm stepping stone moment with a bit of nip… Well, we are especially happy that mama’s sweet and lovely granddaughter has had tests and is FINE! We were a bit worried but no more! No matter what the tests were for—she’s FINE. And we are happy that Mr Terry is back home and thriving. Happy, too, that the wind has...

Same old bird. We just LOVE this photo…. Today I am still blowing in the wind and wondering if it will ever settle, as it’s blowing the flowers off of plants that need flowers to morph into other things, like LEMONS! These winds usualy settle out after a few days so I’ll just go with the flow, haha…....

So windy here, haha. I’m loving being tossed around…   WOO HOO! Let those cold winds...

I wanted to reach out and touch someone today…I can do that, you know, to anyone I please. So cool…. This is Earth Day mama. Mama says that this link is a long read, but if anyone has time to even skim the article, the evidence of why Earth Day came into being and why we need it so much will be evident. So I guess my spark for today, this very...

Saturday’s Selfie Okay, okay I’ll look at the camera! Sunday’s Selfie But I won’t be that happy about it! Well, dear friends, I’m just not quite used to this altered state. I completely forgot Saturday because my aunty Jacquie and Uncle Brian arrived to visit me us for a week and I was just too distracted by JOY to do any work...

I am a good listener, mama. You can learn a lot from kitties! A remake of __GIANT would be fun. (and challenging!) My favorite cartoon character is __any funny cat and anything in Peanuts. I wish I had better __listening skills so that I could LISTEN BETTER! (Loulou speaking) I’m proud of the progress I’ve made with __helping mama and papa to feel better...

I am LOVING this garden…don’t even feel the gravel! Haha, bet you’re wondering what became of yesterday’s musings on the world, but hey, it was WORDLESS WEDNESDAY, haha.😻 (So nice to have an excuse for mama who completely forgot to get my opinions out there. Oh, well, I can forgive this oversight, or maybe it was an undersight,...

It’s really fun floating aroud! Well, Twosday should actually read Gazillionday because I was first thinking about mama and papa, who are TWO, and then I started thinking about all of you who are such good friends, and that I wish to keep in touch, even from this mercurial state, whatever that is, and then I started thinking about how all of us are...

WOW, LOTS OF ACTION AROUND THESE PARTS! Well, today we have this to say: You just never know when an adventure will surprise you! ADVENTURE AT Les Hauts de Collioure: Mama and papa were visiting an elderly friend as they do on Saturdays and she had all of her doors and windows open to part of her house because a little black bird had flown in and was...

Captured in oils, my selfie at least is smiling. And here’s a fun read for your Sunday pre-nap! Let’s hear it loud and strong for us kitties! WE ROCK! Have a kitty-filled Sunday, dear friends. I’m busy reading this Guardian article for the third time….then a little shut-eye in the garden under the lemon tree.  ...

My fave position, duh… Well, it’s obvious that I can’t fill these in, so you know who is doing it: 1. The last thing I cooked was __shrimp curry and chapatis. 2. When I go out to eat, my usual order is __anything new and different. Now I’ll take over: 3. I feel most comfortable when __on my back getting a tummy rub. Mama’s...

Let’s hear it for TEACHERS! Well, this is a lovely, uplifting story. This dedicated woman is the kind of teacher all kids should have. Thanks go to teachers everywhere who take part in their students’ lives to the extent that the student comes away with a true sense of ethics and how to live in this complicated world. Sometimes I think it is...

WOW! SO many of you saw the eclipse! Merci for all of the very good reports on your experiences. Maybe we’ll get to Spain in 2026 for the next one as it’s just 20 minutes from where we live to the border. (PS: That feather I am clutching was dropped in MY garden and I can’t figure out just what birdie gave me such a gift, haha.) (PSS: If...

Are there any? Donc, are there just some things in life that tickle you pink? Mama is really ticklish on her tootsies, but I’m talking about just being really surprised and amazed and delighted about something that you think about all day and say to yourself, WOW, was that wonderful, who knew? I think this eclipse generated news about those who had...

THINGS ARE: LOOKING UP! Well, here’s a thought. Especially important this week. LOOK UP! Mama has noticed that sightseeers in Rome or just about anywhere tend to look straight ahead or down (at what they might be stepping on, as cobblestones can throw one a curve, whatever that is, and of course there might be doggie poo) or at their cell phones (!)...
