I’m getting soaked but I just had to see what all this wet is doing to Jean’s garden! Well, rain is here. That water stuff that makes rattatat noises on mama’s skylight (actually it’s making mud, as that thing really needs cleaning…) and the same stuff...
Read MoreTrue Confessions
Are you saying we can’t watch that movie I chose? Mince! (A polite form of, er, darn, in French) So here is what really happened yesterday. There was a technical difficulty but it wasn’t with my computer or my blog–it was with our DVD player that didn’t function at all...
Read MoreRain Check
Oh, no… I’m going to have to give all of you a rain check, whatever that is, for another blog tomorrow. Today’s blog had some technical problems but a guru is coming at 11 tomorrow and bring his magic genie lamp…. Sweet...
Read MoreMoon Watch
Okay, listen up, this is it! Tomorrow morn, 4:30 am France time, get ready. Or watch it on Google, as an astute reader suggested. You know, I think that solution may be for me, too. This getting-up-early-in-winter is no fun at all. It’s dark, it’s cold, it’s cloudy right...
Read MoreLune-acy
Well, at 4:30 Monday morning we are going to see the moon disappear and around here they are calling it a Super Wolf Blood Moon, which, if you ask me, sounds a little scary, but then no one asked… Still. Wolf? Blood? I can go with the moon part, and you can bet your paws I am going to be...
Read MoreFroggy Went A’ Courtin’
WE ARE SO HAPPY FOR THIS LITTLE FROGGY! Well, mama hopes my title doesn’t date her–she thought it up when I read the article on the poor froggy who has had no mate during his whole life and who has finally FOUND his love! I AM SO THRILLED FOR HIM! And it’s almost Valentine’s Day...
Read MorePhoto Finish
Well, mama has so many photos of me that she sometimes help me pick out some to do my blog…especially when I’ve started late at night, ending my day, and have to sort of throw one together before I collapse from my day’s 24-hour strenuous work. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ...
Read MoreOat Cuisine
Uh, oh, I hear papa cookin’. I’d better go help. Well, every morning papa does his own breakfast of three cereals, mixed nicely with a bit of salt and butter and then a little added brown sugar and milk, and he’s also quite good at Spaghetti alla Carbonara, one of our favorites (notice the...
Read MoreWinter Eyes
You have another opinion, mama? Wow. Well, mama is thinking that she really needs to look at winter with another view about cold and wind and all those wintry things that happen from now until who knows when! But mama and I both spent time in the garden today and she actually took off her...
Read MoreRe-play
Okay, okay, I play sometimes… But everyone knows that a bright yellow ‘Nana is irresistible to kitties and mama can’t figure it out. We have the biggest bed of kitty nip in our neighborhood (since no one seems to have ANY or even know what it IS) and mama...
Read MoreTrain of Thought
Being sacked out is in my nature…is it in yours? Well, some days don’t you just feel like kickin’ back and contemplating the winter’s day and the beautiful sunsets and the braying of donkeys in the distance (sort of) and the lovely smells of woodsmoke from the little fireplaces in the...
Read MoreFruit Salad Days
(Hee-haw, hee-haw…I’m practicing.) Well, they are not exactly eating a mixed fruit salad, because donkeys cannot eat oranges, but pears and kiwis and apples yes, as is clear in this photo of Pompinette after having munched 7 carrots and 2 apples in about two minutes. ...
Read MorePin The Tail…
Loulou, you know those donks will never replace YOU! Well, I’m talking about the donks who now are residing just across the street, called the Coma Cheric (a run-off rue over the large drains that take water from rains and snow and so on from our little village and empty it into the sea). And I’m...
Read MoreAnti-Freeze
You will observe that I cover my TAIL first to thaw it out! Well, it is really cold here, and I mean, COOOOLD. Every time I want to go out the garden for whatever, mama says, LOULOU, you are going to freeze your little tail and then what? And I know she means my actual TAIL, not just as in freezing one’s...
Read MoreSmart Cookie
You’d think mama would have thought this out, right? Well, actually not so smart! Mama was up the road teaching a neighbor how to bake the almond crisps (with no flour, butter, etc–a GREAT cookie) and they mixed up the dough and put them on the pan mama had brought (because the neighbor...
Read MoreThe Play’s The Thing
(Am I just a lounge lizard, whatever that is? More like a lounge Loulou…) Except in my case. You cannot imagine the time mama spends in attempts to interest me in that silly fishing rod with a fake rabbit tail on the end or that other one with what looks like real feathers, but no way, Jose. I know a...
Read MoreWho’s Oscar?
WOW, that guy can tickle the ivories!!! Well, mama and papa are in there watching a DVD called Green Book, which is up for an Oscar. Here’s the thing – papa gets a nice group of DVDs each year that are Oscar nominations because he is a screenwriter, and mama and papa take turns each evening picking out the one they’re going to watch, and...
Read MoreSunday, Sunday
Remember that Mamas and Papas song, la, la, la, “so good to me“…🎶 Well, that’s what happened here today, Sunday, when BOTH mama and papa decided that I needed an after-nap rub and papa started on my head and mama started on my little jaws and neck and I thought I was in Kitty Heaven or at...
Read MoreRed Bobbin’ Robin!
HEY, that little altitude-impaired robin is going down to visit JEAN’S garden!!! I want him HERE to ward off winter! Well, today papa peeked out and saw a little what-looked-like-a-baby robin on our terrace, just bob, bob, bobbin’ along and papa said HEY, it’s spring!!! No way, Jose. Four...
Read MoreA Sweet Beginning
(One of my resolutions was to be rubbed as often as possible, heh, heh.) Well, success, the year has started off with daily snuggles and that’s fine with me. Mama and papa just can’t pass me anywhere in the house without cuddling and touching and stroking and rubbing my tummy. ...
