What is this {pretty, happy, funny, real} you speak of?

Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!
Does this look a little… tired… and… ashy?
Do I?
(I’m not posting a picture of myself, though. So don’t answer that. Not even a picture of Roxie.)
Bridget is gone. She would clean this up. Me, I look at it and think, “It will just get ashes on it again, when I burn more logs, which I will do forever — even in this mildest of endless winters. What is the point of cleaning it up. Bridget will be home in June, probably.”
I’m even sluggish with the bird feeders. I’m telling the birds (but inside my head, because it’s too much energy to speak out loud), “surely there’s something out there you can find on your own… I see berries on bushes… go, birdies, go find berries.”
Sorry, I will be better today.
I’ve made myself a “crafting and computing nest” here on this sofa — this, below, is my {real}. I have to make myself move around. I did actually turn up with a sick headache on Tuesday and required a lot of sleep — which isn’t bad if you think that I haven’t gotten sick this winter really at all. And it does explain the sitting around, somewhat.
Wait, did I post a picture of my sofa last time?
This is getting bad and sad.
Feeling the February March blues, I must say. Let’s think about gardening, manure, seeds, and soil. Let’s not think about building fires!
I think the sun is starting to shine more! Maybe we’ll make it!
In blog housekeeping notes, Facebook in full thwart mode. Do you rely on having “liked” our page to be notified of posts? Here’s the thing: once the blog gets to a certain size (I guess), they start denying the posts in your feed unless we pay. They seem to know, and to be ruthless about using their knowledge against us all. But as you know, we really don’t make money on this blog! So we aren’t going to pay.
Instead, here are some thoughts for you to be sure never to miss a post, as they say: You could hover over “liked” on that page in order to turn on notifications. Normally I’d say that would be obnoxious and never do it, but not in our case! Who doesn’t want to know that some fabulous post with pictures of an ashy wood burning stove or yet another rumpled sofa are but a click away! I ask you.
Otherwise, subscribe to get new posts via email (you’ll find the box in the sidebar on your computer or at the bottom of the page if you are on your phone), or add us to your RSS feed.
In any case, we’d love to see you this week here on {pretty, happy, funny, real}!
