<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that February is finally over</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Is that sunshine??</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Winter time in South Dakota</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">has a tendency to drag on.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wouldn't recommend it to</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Californians or Floridians!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's strictly for those</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of us who like to hide out in our sweatpants</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and pajamas 6 months out of the year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The best part about that is the time</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you get to spend indoors </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">binge-watching television</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">or </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in my case,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">getting back in touch with</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">my creative side!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh, I've had my moments, It's not </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">been easy being cooped up in a rental house</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that's garnished with teacups, doilies, and pictures</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of someone else's grandchildren.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(Hey, it's warm and a roof over our heads,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll never complain!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It really is a good lesson in empathy if nothing else.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My guests will get the royal treatment</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">from now on!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway, I digress...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today on March 1st, the sun has come out</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and I'm finally feeling the hope and contentment</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">that spring is just around the corner and</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">we'll be getting back to the comforts of home</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">in just a couple more weeks!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This morning on Instagram, I see Magnolia is selling</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">tulips at the Silos in Waco!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(note to self: pick up some nice faux tulips at Hobby Lobby!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now where was I going before tip-toeing in the tulips??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Oh yeah,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, yesterday I sat down at my computer</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and revisited my digital files...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cottage Arts</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Escape and Scraps</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">oh yes, and Oscraps</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found these websites years ago</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">when I was doing Make-and-Take Craft Classes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">at my store "The Prairie Preservationist"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, that was in my days before I found INSTAGRAM...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">IG has taken me not only away from my blog</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but to a whole other galaxy if you know what I mean</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(and if you are on Instagram, YOU KNOW what I mean)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our kids kept telling us how popular Instagram is...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">then when my sister got hooked,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">well then I had to jump</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">on the bandwagon as well.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I have 4 accounts and have to admit</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">am overwhelmed most of the time,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">but what a joy to be overwhelmed by so</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">much inspiration and so many positive posts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(I tend to follow artists, conservationists, and dog-lovers</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you know, the GOOD SOULS on this earth!!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Alright enough rambling about Instagram...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Until yesterday, I've been a little perplexed!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I just don't have any new and exciting photography</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to share on my instagram accounts...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10 Degrees and blowing snow just don't</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">lend themselves to quality photography...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There's no birds to watch in the rental backyard.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The dogs chasing a squirrel or two I suppose would</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">make an entertaining video, but then there's that problem</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of me in my pajamas! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The neighbors in town don't need to see that!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My hard drive runneth over with 1000's </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">of pics. So why not pull them out, dust them off</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and pair them with some new digital elements and backgrounds?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you have some time to learn something fun and </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">not so new??</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Click on over to Photoshop and download you</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">some happiness.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Photoshop Elements is how I create these fancy</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">little collages I call "Sanity Savers"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">and now I just send them to my phone so I can share them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">with my Instagram followers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">this is 4:4 (4:5 is best)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to post on my feed...</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Computer equipment, bedding, dogs, cats,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I even brought a sewing machine in case</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got bored enough to learn how to use it ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">oh yes it's quite a chore.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It takes a week to set up a temporary home</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that we can all feel comfortable in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But that's hard to do when you're</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
living amongst someone else's things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's kind of like visiting your great-grandmother, when all</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you want to do is hang out in your own room and listen to rock music.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, right now all I would love to be doing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is making a pie in my own kitchen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course it would be an experimental pie,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because I've never made a pie in my life. Ha. Ha.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mother made the best pies...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
all I had to do is put in a request and a couple hours later</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
there would be a pie at my doorstep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(there's a comforting thought)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh how these winters make me cranky! And all the hauling and lifting</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bit my sciatic nerve. I went to the doctor for pain meds,<br />
they give me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a stomach ache....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can I complain about anything else??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, there's not one comfortable seat in the temporary house!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not trying to be Goldy Locks here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm serious, the couch is old and cushions worn thin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the leather recliner tilts forward and is hard as a rock!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I took a trip to the local consignment shop hoping</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to find a nice used rocking chair or something.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But all they had were well used, over-priced electric lift recliners. Yuck,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just what I need is some old persons discarded lift chair for 50 bucks!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh hell, this will all be over in a few <strike>weeks</strike> months,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should just suck it up and pretend I'm on a vacation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Except there's no fancy restaurants or ski lodge to go hang out at.<br />

<i>"This Sucks!"</i><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dogs won't stay in the tiny backyard, there's a female</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
down the street that our male is intent on meeting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stepped out the door to shake out a rug and could </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hear someone laughing hysterically<br />
(how creepy for someone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's used to her country peace and quiet!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I'd invite my sister over for a<br />
sewing bee, except she abandoned me<br />
for the great state of Texas!<br />
(yep, that makes her the older AND wiser one)<br />

<br />
So hear I sit with my computer, my restless dogs,<br />
a cat on my lap and a sewing machine staring at me<br />
and no table space to set it up.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We are</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> lucky</span><span style="font-size: large;"> to have water hoses to water our garden,</span></div>
