You can see how thrilled about all of this I am… Well, but mama is so excited because she finally got her tomato cage material, but she forgot to order the wire cutters, haha. And that stuff is tough! They’ll be here soon, but wait a minute! Mama says this is chicken wire but I don’t see...
Read MoreThirsty Thursday
For the birds! Well, are you all doing a lot of drinking? Haha, I don’t mean meowgaritas (thank you, Ernie) but I do mean H2O (and let’s be honest, meowgaritas). We are having a summer heat spell and I seem to be dipping into all the water buckets around here that mama puts out for me. There is something mysterious in each one for my...
Read MoreLizzy Garden
I’m casing the joint! Okay, okay that’s a real stretch, haha. Lizzie Borden, right? Whoever that is. But mama saw the first gecko of summer on our wall this afternoon and did a double take, because geckos don’t really come out until June or July! I love watching them, but it’s a bit of a challenge to chase them, haha....
Read MoreTLC Cure
I think a rub is the best antidote for anything. Well, it seems there may be a vaccine soon, but I’m in the here and now and I seem to function best with a snuggle or rub from papa or holding paws with mama. Then and only...
Read MoreBahth, Humbug
My toilette items! Well, they’re writing songs of sanitary, la la la, but not for me, haha. These guys must really have a masochistic side if they love dipping and diving in that W word! I have never had the…er…impulse to jump in mama’s bubble bath tub (actually, I think she had one about a gazillion years ago but she...
Read MoreCultured Critters
Loulou, we could take you to a museum, too, but you would have to keep your claws in. Canvas is fun to scratch on! Oh, this is priceless. Mama just LOVED this, especially the part about which artists the little darlings like best… BEAUTIFUL here, sun, and tomatoes going IN the ground on Monday. Wish...
Read MoreComfort Feud
TAKE THAT AND THAT! Well, as you can imagine, I am taking out my isolation frustration on my duvet (known in the south as a comforter, for good reason, haha, sort of like Southern Comfort, whatever that is) and first I give it a good KICK. Then I tackle it full force and bend it to my will! ...
Read MoreHard to Swallow
So I’m just sitting here WAITING for those birdies to do something BAAAAD… Hey, out there, do you have those little sweet, FAST birdies who are nesting right now in rafters and so that when you go near their little home-under-construction they dive-bomb you (never actually hitting,...
Read MoreLock Step
Mama, what’s a little rain? Okay, okay, I’ll get soaked, that’s true. Still…I could get a little raincoat, no? Maybe borrow Mya’s. Well, mama finally got her bread-making video out there, now let’s see who actually does it! No one has reported yet but...
Read MoreVideo Vacancy
Oh, no, we may have to FIX THE VIDEO AGAIN! Well, it WAS vacant but now it’s UP on YouTube after brilliant papa found the slot, My Movie, where mama’s title was supposed to go. DUH… Here’s the worst part: mama actually SAW that My Movie thingy and put in her title two days ago but she had uploaded the wrong video, argggh....
Read MoreThat’s All, Folks
OKAY, OKAY, we think it’s on YouTube and it is called Suzanne Dunaway’s Flash Focaccia. PLEASE CROSS FINGERS! Wait a minute…are we SURE? Mama is hoping there is a Valium or Xanax or Zen master in the house for...
Read MoreYouRube
What do you want now, mama? I’m a feline but no Fellini! Call papa! Well, papa made a video of mama making focaccia, and she has finally managed to splice two separate videos together on her iPhone, but now she is try to upload them to YouTube and is tearing her hair! All of the narrators...
Read MoreMamma Mia Mamma Tua
I love you, Loulou. It’s mewtual, mama. Let’s hear it for all the mamme, mamas, mamans, madres, meres, and so many more in whatever country they reside – THANK YOU, mothers everywhere for being mothers and loving your children (exceptions not counted today) and for helping hold families...
Read MoreLitter Titter
Loulou, I wish you could tell mama why you often pee next to the john instead of using it as you always have so well. Well I think we may have reached a turning point in my previous agility to jump onto the john and do my thing, so to speak. Unfortunately, mama has been finding, shall we say, kitty liquid...
Read MoreKnee Jerk
MAMA, why is your leg up in the air where I AM SUPPOSED TO BE SNUGGLED? Well, mama is in an elevated stage right now, haha. That is, her right knee is, up and iced to try to get rid of the liquid (what a jerk!) that appeared suddenly and normally has to be taken out at some point. But it’s not a...
Read MoreWishy Washy Weather
D Now, to bathe or not to bathe, that is the question… Wishy washy – whatever that is, but in this case, appropriate, haha. And then there is on the one hand and then on the other hand but make room for win a little, lose a little and of course do not forget that sometimes you might be shilly shallying or...
Read MoreTutoring a Tuteur
What’s that, you ask? Haha, well a tuteur in French is a support for plants, or sticks lashed together to form a nice place for tomatoes, say, to grow into and have sturdy supports for their branches to rest without strain. These are mama’s tuteurs, starting with holes that go...
Read MoreHurrah for VICTORY!
Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone! A memorable day for Mexico, if not for the French… (And Ernie’s meowgaritas! Maybe I had one too many…)...
Read MoreCinco de Magic Madness
Hey, guys, no room at the inn, okay? Well, as you can see by mama’s terrible photo that I am UNDER the bed in order to avoid the Cinco de Mayo craziness that might set in tomorrow after the margaritas, guacamole, castanets and Mexican hat dance, mariachi simulations and general mayhem starts!!! At...
Read MoreTwin Peeks
Now, how did I do this? Glorious weather in our little village. It’s as if summer jumped ahead of spring! Of course for me it’s heaven – sunspots abound, not to mention a bit more energy now that the cold has taken a vacation. Mama’s new easy peasy leftover recipe coming up....
