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 looking up, four-leaf clovers and all that. The little grandkids (now bigger) found four-leaf clovers in our garden one summer and were so excited.
I didn’t have the heart to tell them that mama planted them to tickle their fancies, whatever those are. But they were tickled, that’s for sure.
On a day like this, I had better plan my sunny morning and sweet warm evening pretty soon.
I think for a start, I’ll go out and roll around in the mulch. Now that’s a plan!
After that, I shall throw care to the wind. I hope he’s a good catch!
Rocket salad (arugula) flowers that are edible.
Bees a’ buzzin’ in the sage. Also edible. The sage, not the bees.
Broad beans, fave in Italy, feves in France and how they got those names from “broad beans” I’ll never figure out. I get a tiny piece of pecorino cheese when mama and papa eat it with the raw beans.
Mama read that milk from cows isn’t good for us kitties, but milk from sheep and goats is okay. Do your kitties get cheese? I know at least one kitty who gets BACON! Whoa….
what a lovely morning! We are cold and rainy here
Oh, I’m sorry for your weather but it’s great for the gardens at this time of year.
What beautiful flowers, Loulou! I would like to walk among them too.
And they sniff so well! You are invited to stroll with me, Ernie.
Bonjour, Loulou. Your garden looks furry pretty.
It’s a fitting setting for you.
Aw, shucks…thank you for that. As long as mama doesn’t water me instead of the roses.
Nice pics! My mum really likes rocket.
OH, we have LOADS of rocket salad. I wish we could send it to you. Mama is trying to give it away but there is so much! And it wild, not the domestic kind. SO good, peppery.
WOW – flowers coming up here TOO – well, we have no yard – but the flower boxes are blooming! And hehing the house there are oranges, kumquats and cacti!!! AND in front of the apartment – oranges!!! And the birds are back! YIPPEE!!!!
WOW, oranges that you can pick??? I hope so. It is definitly spring. Mama and papa miss Nice….
Beautiful blooms, but none as beautiful as you. XO
Oh, Ellen, you’re such too good to me. Not sure I sniff as well, haha.
Your garden looks lovely LouLou !
Well, thanks to my vigilance at…er…keeping the plants fertilized.
Rolling in the mulch does sound like fun Loulou!
It also cleans my fur I think.
Loulou, where you live seems idyllic!
Well, it is a sweet garden for me.
HAHA – well I do get bacon but only a tiny piece….AND I’ve never had an interest in cheese. Bacon is the only human food I like….I think if Mom gave me a bean I’d play with it because it’s a great shape, kinda like a worm, and I might even try a little bitey on it. The world is full of interesting stuff isn’t it Loulou? I didn’t know about milk from cows not being good for us but I’ve never had milk before – I guess that’s GOOD!
Hugs, Teddy
Well, mother‘s milk is fine, evidently, for kittens, but we kitties cannot digest lactose from cows as adults. Mama is still wondering about all of this. I love yogurt for example, but it is goat yogurt.
