On the Porch

Welcome Back to a simpler time. it is up to 

us to  bring back the basic of life the simpler time  

that a front porch brings to our home and life.

My porch has went through many changes over the years, 

it may not be Instagram worthy, and that's fine, it was built for

gatherings and simply just to enjoy.

 It will always be my favorite place.

 

A gentle rocker slows life completely down!

Slow me down, O God and ease my mind. 

Let me sit here awhile with you quietly, slowly.

 For every thing there is a season, 

and a time to every purpose under heavens.

I miss my porch in the winter, when the snow comes to visits,

but there is the promise of Spring.  

Just the other day my grandson said to me, 

"Mamaw, I remembered on the porch  you always had 

a basket of toys for us to play with, 

it was so much fun."

Sweet memories indeed!

  The front porch faithfully

greets everyone home once again.

Pull up a cozy seat for yourself,

 enjoy a warm summer's evening.

The heavens declares his glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handyworks.  

We love to set out on the porch during rain storms 

or just to glazed at the stars on a dark clear night.

I love these little bare feet and boots, 

while sitting on the front porch swing. 

Sweet memories of these little gals.

 My porch in Summer of 2024 

We added a new roof because our metal roof was leaking. 

 We added board and batten across the front, 

I love the vertical look. We bought a new front door to 

let in more light and I'd painted the floors a tan color 

to match the tan In the gable.  I am loving the new look. 

As January's snow keeps us snuggled in the home, 

I have enjoyed looking through

seed catalogs, 

sketching out the front flower beds 

and making plans for the orchard 

and gardens in the backyard.   

Do you have plans for your garden areas?
