Yesterday I took Mom and Dad with me, so I could have my normal Sunday at home which includes my whole family for dinner, and catching up.
When I arrived, I found that my Husband and youngest Daughter were cleaning up the porch. It's my favorite place on earth. I always look forward to Spring and porch sitting time.
The tree pollen has been horrible, so it just got a light cleaning. Once the pollen is finished, the power washer comes out for a serious cleaning, along with some decorating.
Here are some picutres of my "Heaven".
I call this the dining room. We eat every meal there weather permitting. The vintage kitchen table is my favorite. I love the design at each end. The black ice cream parlor chairs are new. I found the cabinet at a yard sale.
The other end is the so called living room. The chairs are my favorite. They along with the two tables were my Husbands Grandparents, bought in 1930.
Thanks for looking at my little piece of Heaven. Come sit a spell!
Well, that's what I call heaven, for sure...you LUCKY girl!!! It's beautiful, Pat...and I love that they spruced it up FOR you this year. Glad to hear your Dad and Mom are doing ok...and that you're still hanging in there. Much love to you, my friend - Tanya
ReplyDeleteThat does look like a little piece of Heaven! Not only a great place to be, but the view is beautiful! I long for the days when the weather is good to sit and use the front deck. We love to eat outside and just be outside as much as possible.
ReplyDeleteOur front deck gets too hot because the heat gets trapped in it (we have no trees. It is not designed as a traditional deck... plus the landlord covered the old slat flooring boards with plywood, and painted it dark brown, what was he thinking? lol.) Our back deck is smaller and stays cool, it gets no sun. So in cooler weather we use the front and in hot weather we use the back. I really wish there were a happy medium!
Good Morning Pat,
ReplyDeleteIt sure looks like what I would like heaven to be. I am sorry to read of your Dad's health and hope he recovers very soon.
Your porch is gorgeous. It must be wonderful to just sit with a cup of coffee and watch the wildlife that surrounds you.
Thank God for husbands and daughters!
Take care,
Norine
