Thankful Today And Always

BRAVO, Governor Pritzker! We are so thankful that courageous anthros like Governor Pritzker of Illinois can still use FREE SPEECH to voice the very real concerns we have for the safety and freedom of Americans and the world. “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soap box, and then punish...

S-wordless Wednesday

I’m going to visit my Congressman! ********** The word is more powerful than the s-word! Write your congressmen, write anyone you know about resisiting this madman. His 100 days have devastated plans for climate improvement, medical research, YOUR taxes and income through higher living prices, scientific breakthroughs, child care, the enrichment of the USA through immigration, the acceptance of and freedom for all Americans, the right to vote, pollution control, your child’s education, women’s rights...

Kitty Kitty

Mama LOVES these lions that greet visitors at the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna, huge adorable sculptures, which provide shade for a little girl who clearly adores them, too. They make you want to snuggle them, but…it’s hard going, haha. I can put up with mama and these big kitties because, well, they aren’t LIVE, but I am a bit jealous of their permanence and so many admirers from all over the world. Mama always pets...

On A Roll With A Troll

Well, mama is fascinated by trolls, and this man is truly an amazing anthro! Mama is in awe daily of what anthros can accomplished and the projects they embrace. So I think today’s spark is the old adage: Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Let us hope that applies to the ousting of our fascist government…. **** And this is for fun: This piston-engine sea plane still holds the world’s speed record for...

The World Watching On Saturday

Flowers for Francesco.. Today in Rome, the whole city is quiet and awaiting the procession that will carry Pope Francesco to Santa Maria Maggiore where he will be laid for his long rest. His feats were many, and he tried to bring enemy factions together to make peace and show compassion for their disturbed countries, but sometimes in vain. He published many papers urging peace between nations. There will be a long procession from Vatican...

Well, I’m watching over the garden, but sometimes I just conk out! It’s so comfy here in the mulch…. Loulou, here: 1.

Thanks-giving

We are, as always, thankful that we have blogger friends who make us laugh and think about things and tell us about their animal-filled lives and give us smiles each day. Mama is in Rome and the Pope will be taken on Saturday to Santa Maria Maggiore where he will be buried. We are thankful that he did so much good  during his time as Pope for those less fortunate. A kind man, a gentle...

Pasquetta – And The Sweet Pope Gone…

    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, at least that’s how mama sees it. And boy,...
