Do you ever have one of those days on which you just don’t know what to write? Not that there are not subjects to write about and not that my little pea brain has no opinions about the state of the world, but you know, just one of those moments in which your mind is spinning about so many things that it just won’t settle on one?
Well, that’s where I am today. However, papa did read to me about the comet action on February 14th, so that should be something to look into next month. A probe called Philae landed on a COMET three months ago and got lost and now these space gurus are going to send up another probe called Rosetta (great name, no?) to within about THREE miles from the comet to look for poor Philae.
Well, THAT’S news! Mama asked papa if there would be any chance of seeing any of this action within the next million or so years, haha, and he said, maybe, so maybe there will be some TV coverage of this amazing event. I mean, imagine looking into a COMET! Wow.
The only other news around here is that our guru gardener, M. Riere, has been out preparing his incredible soil for planting and this is what it looks like:
Is that beautiful or what? I watched the whole thing from our back yard and that guy WORKS, even into the night. But those cultivated rows are going to produce some pretty hot stuff–Mona Lisa potatoes, Swiss chard, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, radishes, carrots, you name it–he grows it.
Mama is ordering one of those little dwarf Meyer lemons for this spring’s planting. Maybe it will be short enough for me to pick from and help her a little. She’s still out there cutting lemons, but at least the limoncello is started! I don’t get to drink it but I like to smell it…sort of makes me crazy but what the heck. You only live nine times…
One sniff does this to you, but it’s worth it…haha.
Wow, Loulou, that’s one impressive garden. Limoncello sounds a little bit like catnip. 🙂
I’ll post a photo of mama’s limoncello as soon as I take the pic. It’s pretty tasty and she makes it not as sweet as the commercial stuff.
One sniff does that to you? Uh-oh, better go easy on it. We had to do a web search to find out what limoncello is. 🙂
Well, I’d send you some if I could. Mama seems to be adding to her stash more and more. It goes down easily…the limoncello, that is, not the stash.
Hope he is going to grow some catnip too 🙂
Well, mama grows catnip in a little plot near the sage and I loll in it all summer. But it’s hard to find catnip around here…they call it catmint and it’s not at all like real, addicting catnip, haha. Mama dries it and puts it in my toys.
Seems as if you found plenty to write about today. That does look as if an incredible garden is underway. The final photo is cute and hysterical. Who new Limoncello had that effect on cats. We know our humans have some. We’ll have to ask for a whiff. Hope you’ll join us Sunday for our Selfies Blog Hop.

I tried to put my selfie on your linkies and the program stopped dead in the water. Twice. I could not get a selfie uploaded because your site froze the computer. Any suggestions? I had a great selfie, too….and wanted to join the blog.
