Wow! Are those what I think they are? Little yellow head of baby jonquils popping up in mama’s garden when she least expected it?
Yep, that’s what they are all right. Does this mean that spring cannot be far behind (behind what?)
And as for this little guy–yeah, the green sticky-outy thingy in the middle of the photo, that’s a baby fava bean just dying to be grown up and be shelled to be eaten raw with pecorino. I know that has been mentioned before, but just in case you forgot one of life’s great appetizers.
This little sweetie, a miracle in itself, is a baby Sweet Love growing from a branch of its dying mama, a loss that sent mama into crazed weasel mode. But she took a branch and stuck it in root powder and voila!
But enough of that–now we’re getting to the GOOD stuff. My own private stash of GRASS and
yes, you guessed it: NIP, popping up from the roots of mama’s grown-from-seed kittynip. Well, that’s about it for spring springing, because just as I finished this blog, raindrops were fallin’ on my head and they are making a serious racket on mama’s skylight. What is this thing called Spring?
Well, back to the old roundup…Wake me up when I start shedding my winter garb, okay?
We have little daffodils too, LouLou and I already ate all the new furresh nip that sprout…MOL 😀 Pawkisses right on your belly 🙂 <3
Oh, you must be higher than a kite! My nip is pretty potent. Papa thinks I should back off but do we, ever?
all of these poor plants are sooooooo confused!!
Along with US!
Wow, Loulou – what do you DO with that grass, teehee!!?? The flowers look beautiful. I will happily come over and perfume them for you. Maman is looking at me in HORROR. Well, maybe I’ll just stand back and admire them. Not the same as the window boxes here with real flowers and a couple of fake balls of hedge on each side. Maman stuck dead limbs in with the plastic to make them look more “real”. Harrumph. She is kidding no one. Lucky you, Loulou.
Your mama is brilliant! She may have fooled YOU, Mya, but those ‘sticks’ are taking ROOT. And thank you, no ‘perfume’ needed. But I’m growing cherry tomatoes for YOU.
Wow! Spring is springing for you, Loulou. We won’t see any of those flowers and nip for awhile.
Yes, but you always have the sea, year round.
Nothing sweeter to sleep by than the sound of rain on the roof…as long as the leak is fixed.
Good observation! It is fixed (although I don’t like to use that word too often).
What’s a Sweet Love LouLou? Da leaves look a bit like roses. You of course are more bootyful than all those springy flowers. Dat looks like some great nip ya’ got growin’ there. Enjoy. Big hugs
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Sweet Love is one of the smelliest roses on earth and even one can perfume a whole room, but mama lost hers after four years because it came from a grower and maybe wasn’t grown correctly. All her others are alive. But now we have TWO babies!
Is this a real spring or a fake one? We’ve had a confused winter with very early spring bloomings. So many are sick. Stay well.
Oh, Jan, I hope those no-good bums that give you all the trouble are taking care of you well! Just kidding, they are good soldiers, but get them at least to cuddle up and say, “Oh, you poor thing.” That helps enormously.
It looks like Spring has sprung near you.
Well, in one metre of the yard, yes, and where the fava beans are beaning.
Hi Loulou, you have the right take on the whole spring thing. Best to nap through until the birds are singing and the mice are a mousing! Your plants look more advanced than mine, and my nip is positively DEAD! Anyways, I love you two selfie this week, especially the first, that made me smile for the surprised/mischievous look in your eyes. Love it. Have a wonderful week. Purrs, ERin
Oh, cat princess, you make me so happy with your thoughts! We do still have cold, cold nights.
That glorious belly is distracting, Loulou! We love your garden 🙂
My belly seems to be magnetic but aren’t ALL kitty bellies magnetic? Mama thinks so!
