My Dark Romance 🖤
A cat named Bat and a little red wine to keep my sanity while @home. In all seriousness, I'm not much of a drinker but I do enjoy a little red wine with pasta or gnocchi, part of being Italian. KEEP SAFE 🙏♥️
and a little music of course... RED RED WINE UB40

Home, for the moment, is our refuge...Rosebud🌹
The news this morning...stay at home.
Its a broken record on repeat, people sick of hearing it but the truth is its good advice for everyone.
We are not the bird in a cage or the boy in the bubble we have the freedom to take a walk whenever the need should arise.
I wrote a post ~ Rosebud 🌹 over a year ago when my husband and I were thinking of early retirement.
Looking back now, I see we made the right choice.
Stay At Home 🏡

Spring 🌱 fogging this morning, all is calm and quiet, the cats are sleeping, just the way I like it and perfect to enjoy some beautiful music with the earmuffs on ☺️....still listening to this gorgeous piano piece.
Mariage d'Amour written by Paul de Senneville
known as "Chopin's Spring Waltz" which is incorrectly titled.

Spring Waltz 🌱
“There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature-the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter” ~ Rachel Carson
"If children at school can be made to understand
The cats found something to do
Like playing pretend and wishing that bird was not just a toy.
First day of spring
"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."
One of Edith Holden's postcards 1907 she donated to the society.
From the Book ~ The Edwardian Lady
how it is just to be humane even to what we term inferior animals, it will do much to give them a higher tone and character through life."
~ John Bright
March break, a good time to learn more about nature
Like playing pretend and wishing that bird was not just a toy.
First day of spring
"No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn."
~ Hal Borland
🍃🍃🍃But the weather forecast doesn't promise it's arrival any time soon.
So, on that note, I'll take from the cats on what to do, maybe take out my toys and paint a faraway place where spring is already in bloom.

PINK PANTHER ~ MEGLIO STASERA 🇮🇹🐱🍀🇨🇦 ♥️🙏
Reminiscing at the moment...
When M took a picture of Bat in the pink kitty cat hat and named it Pink Panther it took me back to the 1963 movie Pink Panther and Fran Jefferies singing Meglio Stasera in the Ski Chalet MIRAMONTI in Cortina D'ampezzo in the province of Belluno.
My dad was born there as most of the Livinal family. On my mother's side, Sposaro's family comes from Genova, Naples, and Calabria. Pretty much covering a good part of Italy. Most of our family lives in northern Italy. So, because today it is what it is, I am sharing this post with everyone. A Pink Panther Gatto and this beautiful Italian song to makes things a little more cheery.🇮🇹 🐱🍀🇨🇦♥️🙏
And for Caturday, a Pink Panther who now has claimed the gothic chair for his own with the soft black velvet pillow which has you can see he almost disappears if not for his pink hat. lol

ForbinColossus Thanks for uploading this wonderful video, brings much joy!
The music of Henry Mancini that added the magic to the 1963 film, The Pink Panther. "Meglio Statsera" (Italian for It Had Better Be Tonight), Sung by Fran Jeffries. Lyrics by Franco Migliacci:
Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara
Non mi dire d'aspettare
Il domani che verra
E una porta che tu chiudi
Fra me e te
Se stasera ti decidi
A rispondermi di si,
I domani che verrano
Li dedico solo a te
Megglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara
Nasce il giorno e il giorno muore,
E la notte portera
L'incertezza del domani,
Chissa, chissa
Basta un desiderio solo
A non farti riposar,
E una pulce sul lenzuolo
Che dormire non ti fa
Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sarra solos
Se stasera ti decidi
A rispondermi di si,
I domani che verrano
Li dedico solo a te
Megglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara
English Translation (Let me know if this is wrong, please):
Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be?
Don't tell me to wait for tomorrow to be it's a door that you're closing between you and me if you decide tonight to answer me with a yes the tomorrows that will come I'll devote them only to you. Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be? The day was born and the day dies, and the night will bring the uncertainty of tomorrow Who knows, who knows? Just a single enticement can make you unrest; it's a flea on the sheet that won't let you sleep Better tonight, than tomorrow or never Tomorrow who knows what will be?

The Cutest Clover inThe Patch🐱🍀
I know a place where the sun is like gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for HOPE,
And one is for FAITH,
And one is for LOVE, you know,
And GOD put another in for LUCK
If you search, you will find where they grow.
But you must have HOPE,
And you must have FAITH,
You must LOVE and be strong
-- and so -- If you work, if you wait, you will find the place Where the four-leaf clovers grow ~
~Laura Augusta Yerkes 1905
And discover the cutest clover in the Snow 🐱🍀
Oh ,and of course photo of Bat and title is by M
