Well, it was here a minute ago.  I was homesick for our family in Italy and so I pulled out the item that cures my nostalgia but THEY HID IT, I’m sure! Mama is always cleaning up things! Maybe she knows I’m missing everyone… Now where is it? I’m sure it’s somewhere around here. Alors, when THEY hide things, they really hide...

Mama, could you do the Fill-Ins this week, s’il te plait? I’m bushed, whatever that is. Well, Mr Sun went in and out all week long and on the weak days, of course, I did what I do best. ZZZZZZZZZ.

Well you want to know how to make people leave you alone when you’re napping? Just paint red peas all over your body and they’ll think you have the measles and they’ll stay way away! Or maybe just stick with green. They’ll be sure to back off from those! (For the record, however, mama and papa LOVE peas, steamed a few minutes with mint and...

Ooh…the scent of spring… Well, today is muggy and foggy and damp and mama left her tomato seedlings (Andine Corne) out overnight, thinking they would build up their muscles, and this weather turned around!
