Join Me On the Front Porch -



It's All About Southern Hospitality-
One of our favorite places to visit- Please join me


Welcome- I can see this was taken
early Summer b/c the Humming Bird
Vine has barely begun to bloom as it
begins to wrap around the Mail Box
support - an antique Pump - Get out,
come In - We were expecting you!


The thin flat black basket is just right for a front door
 it's filled with fresh cuttings from Butterfly Bushes



We enjoy our front porch almost year round-
and the scene is set and reset according to the
Season or event we might be planning. When
Company is coming that's all the motivation I
need for tweaking, sprucing up or completely
changing the front porch setting..Enjoy!
Read on ..There's More













I cannot recall any flower or flowering bush we ever enjoyed so much
as we do this Casscia plant...heard it called a Peanut
tree-& a Raintree..blooms early October and continues
until all the cold weather is history..no  I do not try to control
where it goes/grows.. it crawls all over the porch rail,
breath taking beauty in the fall as so much is drying & dying





















Spring Busting Out All Over
 Bridal Wreath bushes in bloom..
A can't live without flowering shrub
& does not last long enough for me.


Fall Flavor

Happy Birthday America








Black Wicker- a Bargain DS find.  The swing appears
to be quite old and was left for us to discover when we bought this
house.  The window frame is a $15 yard sale purchase and the Primative bench [left ] at least 100 years old- from the farm house in Texas

We have two Antique Primative Benches.
In addition to this one the other is set on
the opposite end of the porch. The folded
quilt you see above is early, early 1900's.
The beautiful red platter a thank you gift
from a Brundidge friend and the milk glass
has been claimed by a grand daughter


My friend Heather at Stringtownhome  has moved to a .com address please follow her there and you will find all your familar, favorite places and activities
