Talk about a FALL!
See this stuff on our patio? Those are strawberry tree flowers knocked off by HUGE bees who are here fertilizing and are they making a mess or what?
It’s a pity we can’t think of something to do with them. Mama thought maybe tea would be good (for after my ZEN sessions) but the tea did not taste good at all (probably deadly poison, haha). And then she thought to put them on the compost pile and that sort of settled it. But THREE TIMES A DAY they fall because those bees are busy, busy, living up to their name. Wish they knew how to sweep.
And this is what falls with the flowers. Squishy fruit half-eaten by birds or bees.
And no one likes them except mama because they are so grainy and even the jam she made did not really have much taste.
But the tree is sacred, from long ago, and usually grows wild in the hills and makes nice shade in summer and was planted by our lovely neighbour and so we leave him to his calm tree life.
Would that we could do that with one another, no?
At least mama and papa leave me pretty much alone, except when they can’t resist my tummy or my little snoozing self. I just wish I could get some REST around here!
Maybe if I try to camouflage myself, they won’t insist on cuddling all day long.
Hah, now they’ll think I’m just part of the couch. I’ve foxed them this time, whatever that is…
I thought it was popcorn…MOL 😀 We love the hiding pictures, they look snuggly and warm 😀 Here’s a Pawkiss right on your belly 🙂 <3
My belly has lots of lip marks on it. But they felt good, so good.
great job on hiding Loulou,xx Speedy
Yeah, everyone says I was not in sight. That wasn’t easy…
dats a lots of stuffs falling down… am dey good toys or just sumpins to sweeps to keep from tripping ups on?
but we wants to cuddle wif you!
Theys is NOT toys but stuff falling from a tree that mama has to sweep all the time until they’re finished blooming and the bees have left. But we like the bees so…
I am at your cuddle, whenever you wish.
Hmm, maybe what you need is a nip tree, which would be way more fun than squishy strawberry like fruit. Us TUX’s do have a knack of blending in, sometimes I’m a statue of a sleeping cat. Strangely peep still tries to cuddle me. Have a great week. purrs ERin
Oh, Erin, a nip tree would be so much more interesting. I do have a patch though and it’s pretty…er…effective. When’s dinner?
I didn’t see you in any of the pictures Loulou! And I DEFINITELY didn’t see that gorgeous belly either 🙂
Oh, so my hidden self worked!!! YAY. PS That was my tummy on that couch, attached to legs and head.
LouLOu, you are too cute. I can see why your Mama wants to cuddle with you.
She simply will NOT leave me alone. No matter where I hide, it’s cuddle, cuddle, cuddle all day long.
Oh, it’s tough having to cuddle all the time, isn’t it, Loulou. 🙂
Well, yes, duh, mama. What if I leapt upon YOUR tummy all day long and rubbed it? Hah?
A strawberry tree? We thought strawberries came from vines LouLou. Least da ones ’round here do. Da flowers are small and kinda purretty. But we wouldn’t be at all happy ’bout dat nasty fruit there. MOL LouLou, you be lookin’ so adorable, mommy says she wouldn’t be able to resist nuzzlin’ and luvvin’ on ya’ either. Big hugs to all.
Luv ya’

The tree is just called that because I think no one knew a word for the grainy little red balls that FALL ALL OVER THE PLACE! But yes, strawberries grow on vines. These are NOTstrawberries at all, wish they were.
I have never heard of strawberry trees. Are they like the strawberries that grow on plants? I don’t think your mama and papa can resist cuddling you when you show your lovely tummy.
No, they are not like strawberries at all but grainy red balls that hardly anyone likes to eat except mama. Full of Vitamin C!! Look on google and you will see more.
We look at Fall as the time to cuddle!
Have a super weekend…
