It’s quite friendly. And as I said it eats insects which solves one of your biggest summer annoyances. Unfortunately there’s nothing that can be done about the humidity.

I love his very boopable nose!

I’ve never heard of a dish called that… Wait. Never mind.

What is everyone doing this fine day?

I think I’m going to retire to a cottage just like this in the summer.

// Watching my nephews today. Pray for me. One of the boys just said he wants to jump off the roof and on to a mattress

Tea?

All right! I’ll be sure your room has thick window curtains.

// I’ve got a serious problem on my hands and require advice. // Bert,my cat is laying on me and purring. But my phone needs charging. And to get to charger I have to move. // Should I risk the displeasure of my overlord? Or let my phone die?

Think I’ll wear this for #SeductiveSunday

Who has armed Violet? And why? The bird is dangerous enough without a blade!

I’m stepping away from you before lighting strikes. Because that bird is anything but innocent. She is mischief personified!

So she never meant to pull my hair when I wouldn’t give her cake?

Oh really? There’s another bird that yells “foda”?

//Why can’t I get timely notifications?! 😭

// I’ve got some difficult things to do today and could use a few good vibes/prayers.

I know it’s quite a ways to November. But if anyone needs birthday gift inspiration …

Today in Italy is the Festa di San Giuseppe. So I thought I’d serve a few Italian sweets to make the day. There is the traditional zeppole pastries,some cuccidati (a fig filled cookie), and torta della nonna (a custard filled tart topped with pine nuts). And cappuccino to drink.
