Well, I got blown around up here by our Tramontane that started up yesterday and reallly did a number on mama’s hair, haha. Just wanted to memtion that even though it’s Wordless day.

Around here we wish it were windless!

Well, here is the fish soup recipe and there will be more about fish on her Substack article next week. So many kids grow up without loving fish and mama is going to take that on….

Et here is our tickle for today. LOVE this artist and love his kitty!

Well, our Monday spark is a poem that Mary McNeil mentioned in a comment and it’s a lovely poem about who we are and what we do and what we hope we will do.

And Althea Davis is a lovely writer. And acts of kindness will never be out of place.

Happy week for all with sun and tomatoes growing and fences repaired and good health and smiles and a few good belly …

Mama, I put this in myself for Sat Cat art! Hope you don’t mind. Saw you neededhelp.

Okay, we did this Twosome because…well…because.

Okay, because mama was so busy she just said to herself she said, “Self, lets’ just put this video out there and make everyone happy for the weekend.”

And so that’s why it’s a Twosome, but we will be here for SURE tomorrow with wise words to those worried about out future …

It may look as if I am snoozing, but I am actually ruminating, whatever that is, on Friday Fill-ins! Such fun….

But we love Thursday Thanks, too.

Et oui, we are always thankful for you, dear readers, who put up tra la along with mama on her rants and raves! Merci on this Thankful Thursday.

And we look forward to your Friday Fill-ins, which we LOVE to read.

And thanks to the two…

Bonjour. Fun things below…I watched them ALL and had to snooze afterwards! From laughing…

For really good laughs! Mama came upon this video by chance when she was watching David Atenborough talking about a bird of paradise who kept literally interrupting him!

And here are Mr Atenborough’s fun moments.

This man is amazing. There are no words for what he has done for the earth and animals and all creatures.

Happy Tuesday to …

Bonjour, and mundane in this case simply means ordinary, dull, run-of-the-mill Monday. Workers in the house (it’s 17 years old after all…things get a little peaked)…grocery shopping, pulling weeds, pretty mundane stuff.

But this is not:

“A visionary left at this moment is better suited than routed establishment Democrats to catalyze an uprising against Trump and Trumpism – engaging the protest voters’ pain and fear rather than pathologizing them, as many did (to disastrous effect)

Mama is so tickled and touched over this.

SIX YEARS OLD! There is hope for our country, non?

Here is an old selfie that I happen to like myself and so suggested mama use it. Er…I had a bit of catitude in this, non? Well, we do what we can, we kitties to keep the world turning. Have a good, safe, and tasty Memorial Day weekend.

Mama is looking for fish …

Mama found this older Lunapic and thought it looked as if the wind was ‘uplifting’ me in color! When I’m near rainbows, this actually happens, haha.

(Thank you, Lunapic, but we forgot what the effect was called….)

Well, our spring took on another mood today with a grey mist over the hills and cooler, sweater weather.

Mama’s art class is on Saturdays and today is her first day back. May her charcoal stick …

Bonjour, dear readers. If you are wishing mama would leave out the FYIs in my blog, please just do not click on them. No offense, ever!

Just a very big thank you for even considering it.

Mama simply feels that information about this outrageous government’s behavior must be known, and many do not read the journalists who are exposing what is happening in our country. …

On a lighter note, these are the roses mama cut yesterday when we returned.

A our Rampicante squash are taking off! These are mature ones from last time, but our new babies are getting there!

Well, once again, we forgot what app this was and loved it and filed away the image but forgot the source. Lunapic, for sure!

And just fyi, mama and I love this site!

SO interesting to anyone fascinated by words and language. Have fun with it. Origins of words and slang and more…such a good site for the brain. Mama thinks it is free and today they examined words named after a person. Like …

This was supposed to be in here several days ago, mama! But I forgive you. Packing can be disorienting…

We are so excited and thankful that two friends will be here today, one from our little village and he brother from Honolulu who has never been to ROME!! And mama and papa are leaving in two days…oh, well.

Our friend from Honolulu is in for a surprise, that’s for sure.

Thanks to all of …

OMC, he’s at it again…

Silence is often golden, but right now, it can be dangerous.

Mama has to do this. You never have to read these substacks from Ms Richardson, but we all must vote to save our country from this madman.

And a little video to counteract this disturbing news.

Along with a lovely rose bush of Sweet Love, with a perfume that fills the room.

Storms make trees take deeper roots.

Let us all stand our ground and deepen our roots for liberty and the elimination of a crooked leader and all his cronies and VOTE him out. Even one tiny infraction like these of a president at any other time would have had him out at once!

Strange and disturbing world that allows these crimes to now be committed daily.

But enough of graft and greed. Perhaps a few …
