    So sad. The Pope died at 7:35 this morning, and Rome is in mourning. As are so many around the world. A good man who fought to improve the lives of the poor and marginal humans on this earth. ****** Today is also the ‘little Easter’,  the day on which families take picnics to a sweet spot and eat all the leftovers from yesterday,...

Well, we were feeling a little bright-light-ish today. This is Lunapic’s Neon effect. So who is this guy Art?  I make art for MY sake and often do mine along with mama but she doesn’t really know I’m there. Her Muse, you might say… I love being A-Musing, haha. Happy day-before-bunny-day! (Mama is soooo bad at doing this….)...

Have a ball on your birthday,  papa! We are so glad you were born! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ And our spark for today is: A stitch in time saves nine. Which means that if you take the stitch in whatever’s damaged really quickly, you’ll repair it right then and you won’t have to take nine more stitches to get it back in shape and working again. Well that’s...

I VOTE FOR THAT! Just get on with it, right? ********** Monday spark: Never complain, never explain. Mama, for years, thought this was a saying of Henry Ford, who knows why, which is why we have put in the link to what it really means and where it came from. Personally, I think it is the perfect kitty spark as heaven knows we kitties NEVER explain, and...
