Mama, that’s a stretch… Haha, get it? Think tank, thank tank? Okay…let’s move on. So many thanks to readers. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being there. Thank you, garden, for lovely early roses and radishes. Thank you, rain, for making the lemon food granules go into the ground without having mama dig them in! Thank...

Well, we’ll start with this wordless ironing of papa’s jeans. It needs to be done correctly, n’est-ce paw? Segue… My Yoda impersonation (for Comedy Plus, haha), and then this…which “speaks” for itself, haha. Have a wild Wednesday – walk, watch, wish, wangle, write, wander, maybe even get in a little waltz, or...

My Too Much pose… Sometimes there is just too much going on, mama says, and do you ever feel that way? This particular Tuesday was just FULL of appointments that took way too long to complete, one of which was waiting, waiting, all through lunch but mama and papa couldn’t leave until they had some docs and so ate only a bag of peanuts and then...
Read MoreOur friend through blogging, Ms McNeil, sent words of comfort to us this morning from a song mama sang as a child. So lovely. Mama wants to say that certainly one does not have to be religious to have beautiful songs part of one’s life, and both mama and papa have their own beliefs about being here or not being here…but this song and its...

And this is the first (early!) rose of spring, and I have to take a bit of credit for it, called Sweet Love. Isn’t that a nice one to bloom first for all of us? When I say ‘credit’…uh…I wish to explain that my presence in my rose garden (a few weeks ago) demanded that I…er…help that sweet rosie grow...

Well, we are so thankful today for, as usual, so many things. Let’s make it easy to think about. Thankful for: Heavy rain that took the lemon tree and rose food into the ground instead of having to cultivate it into the soil! Flowers everywhere, despite cold mornings, as daytime temp rises with Mr Sun. Lovely cards from kind readers that were so...

Keeping an eye on things… Oh, boy, I saw that mama had such fun at the open market on Sunday, buying little marigolds for the garden and happily planting other posies in our small flower holders that greet people before they walk down to the front door. All I can say is, pauvres petites fleurs! Planted out there on a warm sunny day and now whipped...

Well, mama sort of made up our spark… What mews around, goes around, which is to say (and mama, it’s a stretch, but what the heck) that kitties bring joy and love and caring wherever they reign, so if you find a little mew-er who needs a home, do think about it. (I would paraphrase that as “What mews around probably is trying to tell you...

Bonjour, tout le monde. I’m just making a little visit on Sunday so that mama and papa know I am keeping watch over things. It’s my selfie but not a selfie, if you know what I mean, but I like visiting every now and then. It’s better than being mistaken for a sweater! Live well and have a sweet...

We mulch with such a thick layer of straw that we don’t actually have many weeds, but mama leaves a few for my dining pleasure… Below is the Candy Effect from Lunapic. Weeds are like candy to me, haha. Bon weekend, tout le monde!...
Read MoreWell, whew, I can leave these to mama: 1. I refuse to spend more than __4 minutes for __poaching an egg, haha. Four minutes after egg is dropped in simmering water, fire turned off and covered. A PERFECT POACHED EGG! 2. I am not ashamed to admit __that I have SO MUCH MORE to learn. 3. I’ve been obsessed with __how losing a kitty works__ lately. 4. When...

Well, mama’s waterworks are still active, but everything I have read about tears to heal seem pretty normal to me. So mama and papa are healing well, in my opinion. And this garden thingy will be so sweet for me. I miss my roses and they are just about to bloom!! Hooray! Spring actually made an appearance yesterday as mama’s radishes poked...
Read MoreWell, I’m not really tattling, It’s just that when the cafetteria at Teddy’s house offers all those incredible dishes, mama always gets the chicken salad sandwich, boring me with sameness, which inspires me to call it “sandwish”, which then inspired mama to call herself a “sandwitch”, which is now getting to point...

“Those (kitties, doggies, animals) whom we love and lose are no longer where they were before. They are now wherever we are.” So true for us. And yes, they know that I am gone but I am so much with them still and will always be and I do wish to keep my thoughts going to help mama and papa and perhaps one day I will send a little friend of mine to them who...

We come in all colors!

Just wanted to share this one time…. Mama also thought you might like to know a bit more about...
