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

Capturing the context of contentment in everyday life ~

Every Thursday, here at Like Mother, Like Daughter!

Come over to Instagram to see some pictures of our Europe trip. I don’t want to be that tedious person who shows you all their slides (I remember this well from the days when it took a lot to get overseas and was a really big deal to get the photos printed and mounted in the slide carousel, sometimes turning out to be the wrong direction, necessitating a complete reversal of the order, or else recounting the trip backwards… but that’s another story).

On the other hand, I have lots of photos!

I’ll just show you a couple, randomly pulled out:

This is the ceiling of the church at Castel Gandolfo, dedicated to St. Thomas of Villanova. Very light and pretty.

Here we are on the Pont Neuf, over the River Seine in Paris. People put their little padlocks all over the fencing there.

And here is Bridget at the Tower of London, with the Tower Bridge in the background (I have a hard time typing “bridge” and not making it “bridget”!)

But now we are back to the {real} of our lives. I need to recover these cushions on this settee. I had gotten this furniture on Craigslist back in the day, and couldn’t handle recovering it at the same time that I did the free set a friend gave me (that jungle print just had to go!).

So I finally found more of the fabric and will do these cushions. It’s not as cheap as the first time I found it, but it’s still cheap.

And there’s planting to be done:

The lettuce has come up…

My pear trees look pretty good:

Well, this one is still un-pruned, but ah well:

Garlic:

Beds yet to be overhauled:
