MORE INFO ON THE NASTIE NEWS Well, mama forgot to mention that if you have nasties in the garden, they will eventually attract (or do here!) pucerons, aphids! BUT, our garden guru said not to worry, because if the nasties have the aphids, your other plants will NOT! That’s pretty cool, no? We were...

Well, we made another picture and now it’s in! Whew. “Nasties” being the nickname for nasturtiums, given to them by a long-time friend of mama who, alas, is no longer with us. I never knew her because mama met her in Los Angeles one day at a communal compost pile and she was from Texas, too,...

Practicing my Kitty Flip Well, this morning mama just had to have us watch Simone Biles as she conquered the flip that only men have done in the past. What an athlete! And she has overcome so many obstacles in her private life. You can read about her here if you wish. We are simply astounded at her abilities, and...

OH, NO, what will mama think of next? Well, mama was looking at funny videos to lift her morning spirits and she came up with this! I have a feeling this may become birdensome for me… Okay, okay, yes, they are cute, they are smart, they are so, so good at charming the pants off of anyone crazy enough...

ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO FEED ME? Well, not exactly a party, but after SIXTEEN months of NO ONE in our domain, two very old friends came for a glass of vino, vaccinated, the friends, not the vino, and sat in the garden trying to figure out what life will be like after this long, long year of unknowns. It was...

Well, I’ll explain tomorrow about today’s short post. Nothing serious, just…er…different. Thank you for your patience! You did WHAT, mama and papa?...

Ooh…nice. Well, I happen to keep mama and papa’s feet or knees or whatever looks the most comfortable nice and cosy in these chilly nights. And I feel that these snuggles are fair exchange for all the trouble I go to, right? Right! Think I’ll just lean into this one. It will make them feel...

Well, mama thinks I might need assistance for my ears when she calls me. “Loulou!” “LOULOU!” I thought I heard the cuckoo call my name… “LOULOU,...

Gardening just simply wears me out. Well, maybe not sage as in “wise” sage, but certainly sage as in flowers and bees. The bees have sucked the sage flowers dry but their busy work may help to have that lovely flavor end up in honey on someone’s toast. Now it’s time to construct the tomato supports, mama...

MAMA, GUESS WHAT? We almost goofed! Well, today is National French Bread Day in France and mama almost forgot to tell me, so there I am lazing around on the little chair next to her computer, lazing and gazing at the same time, and all of a sudden mama scares me to death by crying out,...

Well, today is just for laughs. Mama says that laughter is a tonic and really good for the soul and spirit. Especially after this last year and a big drop in smiles. Let’s hope my (read: mama’s!) blooper pics help to get you grinning. Let’s start!...

Well, the usual corny pun, but what the heck. It’s a magnificent day for a roll in the hay…er…rolling, that is. Getting started on my tan for summer. A good mulch stretch to keep in shape....

NO, MAMA, I WILL NOT MOVE OFF OF THIS BED! Well, these anthros are the most confusing beings I know. Mama and papa thought they were having a new bed put together today and the old one taken away by the same company. NO SHOW. Mind you, this has been going on for about three weeks or more....
Read More Well, happy maman’s, mama’s, mother’s, mamma’s, madre’s,母亲Mǔqīn’s DAY to all mothers. Mothers never really get their due, it seems, and if there were a list of what they do all day, oh, boy, it would take up volumes! Maybe there should be an Encyclopedia of Mothers’ Contributions to the World. Think...

Well, you cannot believe the wind around here! It is blowing the blossoms off the trees and the flowers off their bushes and mama can hardly stand up in this wind. I am lying down just to be safe. Mama can hardly stand up when she...

My idea of a good start for this sunny day! I suppose that if we were Russian I could say “Spring in our Steppes”, haha. But mama says, “Loulou, it’s comin’ up roses.” Well, that’s what mama said this morning, and I think it means things are...

Well, you know, with this semi-lockdown, it’s slim pickin’s (whatever that is) around here lately for subject matter except the photos of me actually doing things, since I’m the only one around here really DOING things to change the world. Well, doing things, that is, for kitties in the world....

Well, GREAT news that has upset (in a good way) the Italian soccer world. Our fave team, the Roma, is getting a new coach who has won lots of cups, and other teams are getting high-end coaches for the next season, which means that all of these coaches will be vying for who can be the best! Boy, did we need...

Well, at the risk of being narcisistic, self-centered, on my high horse (?), egomaniacal, you name it, I am following MAMA’S orders to post these (not my idea) cutesy-pootsy pics of yours truly and then be DONE WITH IT. You see, in the evening, I get up on my couch and sack out while THEY have...
