A PORCH FOR SWINGERS

Now, isn't THAT just an enticing title?

Rain or shine I knew I had to get

that porch done to show you.

I may, or may not have, said a few 

NAUGHTY WORDS

to myself working out there in 

THE HUMIDITY.

My hair and I do NOT like humidity!

I did not buy a single thing for the porch-

well, except for the fern and the roses.

So, just to make you happy---

Here we go!

Walking up our front steps I have a huge

FERN & BIRDCAGE to the right.

Step up to the door and wipe your feet, kids!

The front door looks like this.

Leaded glass.

The ceiling above is a barrel ceiling

with beadboard.

I have had this old hat for at least 10 years.

It is kind of SAD looking, isn't it?

I popped it up after tearing its old bow off.

I need a new bow!

and maybe some new flowers cuz

these are looking pretty crappy

This is taken through the screen.

To the left of the door and close to the steps 

are some flowers and a wire topiary form

and a GARDEN sign.

Tired are you?

Well, you have two choices of seating here.

This old Eastlake wicker chair 

is on a spring rocker.

It is very comfortable.

It was maroon and pretty sad looking

so I painted it white.

The fabric on the seat cushion is from a dress I wore in the early 90's.

I had a jacket that matched that I sent to a friend.

I still love the fabric!!!!

My friend is thinner than I am so the jacket

might fit her.

Don't ya hate it when your friends are 

thinner than you are?

Makes me want to FEED them!

Two cherub supports hold a glass shelf 

for holding a coffee cup or

glass of iced tea

and grocery store roses.

There is a chair for little rockers, too.

Not a girl?

Another cushion makes it boy ready!

My son found this rocker and stripped it down several years ago.

I just can't quite bear to paint it.

And here it is~

THE SWINGER

washed and dressed.

The bottom cushion is stuffed

with goose down.

The rug is a multi-colored tweed with

rose and green and blue in it.

 A few flowers on each side of the swing.

Sometimes MyHero and I sit here and swing.

and sip coffee and watch the grandkids

ride their bikes down the drive.

Yep!

We don't swing very fast anymore.

MyHero has sure slowed down from 

THE SWINGER 

he used to be.......

and that's all I'm gonna say about that!
