Wait a minute, Loulou, that’s not UNDER a bed. That’s under your security pants!
Well, Mary McNeil sent this lovely morning story about Stevie and I’d like to share it. What is happening is that each morning during this pandemic, mama is having her little morning espresso with an uplifting or courageous or just plain funny story that brings smiles to mama’s and papa’s breakfast table.
Hey, everything gets a bit overwhelming at times, and a smile break takes a bit of pressure off of the political powder keg upon which some of us sit. Whatever that keg is…
Still, thing are looking up, and we are sorry for anyone who contracts this virus.
And along with Stevie’s story, we also found Bisky blown over on the terrace by 120kph winds that turned over mama’s potting soil box and strewed it to the winds! Plus the Japanese shisu plant was on its side but the roots still intact. Shutters banging, windows wailing, tomatoes 🍅 trembling, roses rippling, peppers petrified, and one HUGE unripe lemon, the first of the season, blown right off his hinges! He will ripen, but he weighs half a pound and is a bit traumatized by this warm wind.
Except this is a warm wind and I can’t find a name for it in France. In Spain, according to research by ever-helpful papa, the name is, in Catalan, is midjor, or midjord, or mitjorn, or migjon or midfurn!
In Spanish it is lebeche.
I’m just going to say I’m tramontised, haha.
I’m heading straight for my nest under the bed…uh…papa’s pants until this…uh…blows over.
PS Why do they call the wind Maria? Always wanted to know that…
There were extreme winds here a few weeks ago that, according to Mom, “blew down a power line which sparked and caused a great big fire in the area.” Our house smelled like smoke for days. It was so-o awful. But thankfully the rains eventually came and brought some fresh air.
OMG…just like the fires in my Aunt Barbara’s place in Sonoma. SO glad it’s OUT. The smoke is the worst.
Stevie really is a good looking fellow and what determination for kitty and Patrick! Well done you two. Tomorrow we have some info on Blind Cats so stop by
WILL DO for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
WOW…..Stevie is a beauty of a cat and how wonderful her FOREVER HOME is with someone who totally understands her and takes her on adventures! Now – I want to know about these security pants of yours – do they work? Sounds like one heck of a wind you had that blew so many things down/off/around. Glad you’re OK!
Hugs, Teddy
Well, I have a thing for papa’s jeans. Have no idea why, just love to be near them and lie around them. Feels safe, I guess, safe from mama SNUGGLING me all the time.
Stevie is adorable – and BRAVO to the hero who adopted him!!! Patrick? Well, Mamma would have made limoncello outta that lemon! LOL – she’s shakin her head…… We don’t have the Tramontane or the Mistral here – but it was pretty awful – rain, wind but a lot of areas got hit worse. I just hid under the covers.
I would have been there with you, Mya.
A wind like that sounds like Spring is coming LouLou. We are dank and cold right now. Do you have any full moon pics ? The next one is Halloween !
Yes, mama has a couple if I can get her to send them to my blog…will ask. HALLOWEEN??? Already. Well, it won’t be like the past, that’s for sure. I hope.
WOW, Steve is amazing and he’s such a beautiful and amazing guy!
He really is so beautiful and healthy.
