SUMMER PORCH PARTY ~ Please be sure to take a peek at all of the lovely porches from all over the world. Rhondi of Rose Colored Glasses is hosting this wonderful event today. Take a peek at her blog cause she has the list of participants! ENJOY and have a blessed thankful Thursday!
WELCOME EVERYONE!
When I had seen that there was a sharing of your Front Porches...I really wasn't sure I'd do it. You see, I don't really have a porch. But...I decided that I would go ahead and show you the pretty walk up to my front door, which has a very small area that I always decorate seasonally.
Isn't this the most beautiful Japanese Maple? My poor flox just got pounded on and it doesn't seem to want to come out fully.
Some more of the greens and yellow assylm that line our walkway.
As you approach the steps, you can see the pretty deep maroon door and shutters...I just love 'em! Okay, I am dating myself...but I have had the PeaCock Chair since hmmm the early 80's. My then boyfriend, but now hubby bought that for me way back when...and last year I finally brought it out of the basement to display it or have a place to sit in the summer time.
I just love the domed window above the door...
Our door is opened to all of my blogland friends...come on in!
Okay..I slipped this one in...isn't this just precious...this is my Biggest (20lb) baby...Punkin all curled up and sleeping on my piano bench. I can't resist a sweet picture like this to share with you all....
Hope you enjoyed my little trip to out front door...have a blessed day...Lorena

You have so got a porch, and it is lovely! Your landscaping is to die for, esp. the japanese maple. Your peacock chair is a perfect accent, along with the rich shutter and door. Love your foyer and Punkin as well!
Nice to meet you!

Hi Lorena, I'm still looking at all the front porches and your yard is beautiful. You have a georgous house to go with it. Thank you for sharing. Have a Blessed Day, Bonnie
I like your little porch! You have such pretty things on it, and it sure is special to have something with so much love and history like your chair to be displayed out there.
I love your porch with it's columns and peacock chair. It's all so beautiful. What a nice place to sit and enjoy the cool evening air.
What a lovely blog! Stephanie of Angelic Accents said you were from Michigan, too, so I wanted to stop by and say hello. When I saw your dear Punkin, I knew this was the post I had to comment on -- he greatly resembles my dear, angel-cat Stimpy, who left me almost three years ago. I miss him every day and seeing cats that look like he does always touches me!
