Porch Party

Hi
Oh, I'm so glad that you came to my porch party!  I was wondering if anyone would come since I haven't been blogging very much this last year.

Oh, just hold on a second while I go and get the flag to put out.  I always love the look of a flag.  To me, it makes a home seems more welcoming somehow.

This year I kept the porch very simple: just the rocking chairs, a couple of ferns, the birdcages and a wicker chair and tea trolley.   

 It's going to be another very hot day, so I made us some sweet tea with plenty of ice. 

 And I know you like my lemon squares, so I made them for you too.

Sometimes when it's just me, I like to sit on the porch and read.  Right now I'm reading The Distant Hours,  by Kate Morton.  She is a very good author and I loved The Forgotten Garden, which was the last book I read by her.  This one is good too.

Did you notice this wicker chair by the front door? I love wicker!  You probably know that already. This is my newest purchase and quite old.  I found it on Craig's List!

 It was in excellent condition.  All it needs is a cushion. 

 And it has this little pouch on the side to hold magazines or a book.  Isn't that cute?

 Well I hope you have time to stay and chat.  I have missed having visits with you!  I want to know everything that you're doing:  do you have any projects on the go...plans for the summer... new grandbabies on the way?  We have one the end of July....number 5!

 I am SO GLAD you came today.  My door is always open and my porch is always ready for visitors, so I hope you'll come back again real soon.

If you are joining the party with your porch today just sign in below.  Make sure you link to the specific porch post not your general URL.  To do that just double click on the post title.


I hope you have time to visit the other bloggers who are having parties today.  I know they've love to see you too! 

If you're not having a party, I would so love it if you leave a comment so I could visit you too!!.
