Farmhouse Porch




Spring is so brilliant and so special, especially after a long, gray winter.


It's always a pleasure to get back outside and ready the porch for the summer season.




So now that it's done, I thought I'd share with you.






I got out the old washtubs again, and this year, I used the bottom shelf, which now looks less awkward than sitting empty.  

In the washtubs are some nice full geraniums.  Someone had asked if I planted the flowers in the washtub.  They are not.  This is a couple of potted geraniums sitting up on a brick so the pots sit high enough to see the flowers.




I keep a cute little enamelware dishpan on the table with water in it for JuneBug.  I think the birdies might eventually find it and don't know what I'll do then, especially since JuneBug is such a good hunter girl.  :(






I just love the old Spirit of  '76 flag flyin' in the wind.
I usually fly two flags, one on the front and side railing each.  
So one of the flags is always 1776.




Come sit, down, let's rock and chat a spell!





How have you been?
I've missed you!
