{pretty, happy, funny, real}: Spring (Almost Summer!) Edition

SPRING!!!!!! (Or, almost SUMMER!!!!!)Pretty

I know. It’s all Georgia O’Keeffe and everything. I get lost in its center and can’t find my way out.



Happy

Sandals! No socks! On March 13! I know! It’s all Florida or something — certainly not south-central Pennsylvania…



Funny

Funny how a little thing like getting one’s hands in some dirt just makes the day. It happens every year, and every year you’d think it had never happened to me before, the way I grin.



Real

Porch furniture and cushions cleaned and in place, weeks ahead of the normal schedule. This set, minus the Cracker Barrel rocker, hearkens back to the 1960s. The cushions were recovered in about 1990. I love them, except, and this is real…
…it’s well past time to cover them again, but I just cannot find ready-made replacements for them. Yesterday I got a local estimate for custom cushions and it was over $1300, so I guess we won’t be doing that! Ideas, tips, and leads appreciated, friends.

Many of you Like Mother, Like Daughter readers might enjoy my last post about a book that compares American and French parenting styles and has insightful things to say about both.

What’s Pretty, Happy, Funny, or Real in your life this week? Have you captured some contentment?
