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…....

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...

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.

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!

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.

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 (!)...

We are so sorry this magical event is not in France! I know that sometimes you are not able to get the link from the Washington Post, but this scientist has wonderful info about an...

A little Lunapic montage of some of the places I have…er…watered, which is why we have THIS: But mama’s garden guru neighbor was showing her his broad bean crop that he planted in October (the best month to plant them) and mama was lamenting that she had only the little flowers because she planted in November, a bit late, and then...
