She Means Business!

Posted by on Jun 11, 2020 | 11 comments

            Hey, mama, just because I can’t weave bracelets doesn’t mean I can’t…er…sell nip-stuffed kitty toys or something!  You make them, mama, I stuff ’em, haha! That’s called CEO delegating… Well, what a story! These little girls are probably going to become CEOs one day,...

  I’M OUTA’ HERE!!! Well, I haven’t had a lot of time to do this post with mama because she has been washing things from the supermarket! Yes, lettuce bags, egg cartons, you name it, she washes it, which is why I am scooting out into the garden where she cannot possibly find ME to WASH!!! She is a crazed weasel with this wash, wash,...

Something Positive Afoot

            Well, wait a minute, is this MINE? Sometimes I get mixed up about which paw is which, although my true paw is PAPA, haha! He took some pretty strange photos of me last night as I listened to Meet the Press and General Colin Powell.  Incredible interview with an extraordinary man!  Finally someone who wants America...

Snooze Blues

Posted by on Jun 7, 2020 | 10 comments

              Well, in these if-fy times, for which I really have no name because they are so WEIRD and IF-FY, mama finds that sometimes she doesn’t sleep as easily as, say, papa, or, of course as I do, the Queen Statistician of Slumber  and Snoozitude, and what I hear more often than not in these moments is,...

                SUKI, their new kitty, has brought peace and tranquility to aunty Jacqueline and uncle Brian in Seattle.  We just loved the photo so that’s why it’s here. Well, today I am simply showing you some pics we (and the mama of Suki, the Scottish fold kitty) took and each one with a different...

Friendly Funghi

Posted by on Jun 5, 2020 | 10 comments

            Papa, what’s a mush-room?  It sounds like a place where you make a big mess.  Or keep the breakfast cereal, haha. Well, once again we are benefitting from the incredible funghi (mushrooms in Italian) that our neighbor, Jean, grows on a big log in his garden! They are called les pholiotes de peuplier, the...

Wet And Wild

              WHAT WAS THAT FLASH? A SPACESHIP LANDING? Goodbye, sunshine!  It is pouring rain and there are big lightning strikes just outside our windows that make me want to go under the bed to my safety snuggle area. BUT…I stayed with mama and let her rub my tummy instead. Hey, a girl has choices, right?...

A Rose is A Rose is…OUCH!

Posted by on Jun 3, 2020 | 14 comments

            I’m thinkin’ mama might have to stick to growing nasturtiums, haha.  Well, mama went out into the garden AGAIN without her long protective gloves on to take yellow leaves off of the roses and clean them up a bit before their first little prune and of course she stuck herself with a HUGE rose...

Horsing Around

Posted by on Jun 2, 2020 | 4 comments

                  Well, Pompanette is a mule but what the heck. Mama was standing carefully in the door to her atelier (with see-through mask on and talking at a distance with Aunty Lynne, who lives up the street) when a familiar sheep dog came over to her for a pat and mama knew at once what was to follow....

Well today we are only publishing this. It brought us joy this morning when we received it from a friend in Los Angeles.  And this week, there were so many terrible stories about the infiltrated peaceful protests for mistreatment of black Americans and the terrible fall-out looting in USA cities that this flower break was needed for a moment We feel so...

              Still can’t figure it out. Well, I need help.  My WordPress gurus are far away but maybe one of them can advise me when I wish to put in a code for a blog hop, for example: <!– start LinkyTools script –><p><b>Powered by Linky Tools</b></p><p><a...

All Lives Matter.

                No matter how you vote, this film is important for all Americans.  It is not short, it is 37 minutes.  But it is worth every minute you can give it. And this sweet video needs no words. And this one. Very short. Perhaps the most important of all.   I cannot get this out of my mind. Ever. In memory of...

La Cage Au Feuilles

Posted by on May 29, 2020 | 8 comments

                  Well, feuilles is French for leaves, and mama is hoping that there will BE some someday in these cages.  Preferably attached to tomato plants.  The leaves, not the cages, although the cages WILL be attached, I suppose, in a way. Our neighbor, Jean, took one look and said they could blow away...

Mama, what’s that wonderful SMELL (even if I can’t have any…sigh)? Well, it’s that time again around here…coconut oil, olive oil, sweet onion, garlic, potato, leftover chicken, zucchini, tomato, coconut milk, chicken broth, a little white wine and, of course, all the spices toasted in a separate pan: cardamom, turmeric, Madras...

Grin and Bear It

              Is this a true story, mama? WOW. Well, yes, Loulou, this is a true and amazing experience and what a courageous little 12-year-old boy! But, mama, I just know that if I had been there I would have meowed way too loudly and  probably ended up as hors d’oeuvres for that gigantic creature. I just hope the...

So Cultivated

                  MAMA, WHAT’S THAT RACKET? Well, today was mow-the-very-large-backyard day next door and our neighbor (daddy of  Sarah, the yapping Jack Russell) was running his machine for hours, it seems.  Can’t a kitty get some snooze time around here? I mean, something like that could really...

Memory Bank

Posted by on May 25, 2020 | 12 comments

  Going over memories on  Memorial Day Well, I think we should put all of the workers who strive to get us safely in and out of hospitals and out of danger from COVID-19 and all workers in general in our memory banks forever. Along with, of course, the veterans who served their country so well and so long.  May they all find good health and places to...

Brush Flush

                Ahhhh…. Well, if there’s one thing I LOVE in this world, it’s being brushed!  I actually go into a state of purrvana when mama does her beauty-parlour thing to my coiffure. My little tongue comes out and droops… Brush, brush, brush, my little head turns around like an owl as...

                  Mama, there’s someone at the door! Well, I finally found a picture of the wire, not that it is an earth-shaking kind of happening, but still..                   Exciting, no?  But just imagine nice, neat cages with tomato plants’ branches...
