HANGING AROUND

One of the things I love most about our house is the extended porch. It’s private, covered and has a beautiful view of the front garden area. When we first bought the house, I envisioned sitting out there on a warm evening, enjoying the neighborhood and good company (okay, and maybe some ice cream). Well....two years later, we still have a bare and lonely porch. Hoping to begin remodeling the outside of the house, I've been looking at benches, bistro sets and other possible furnishings that might work in this space. Then I came across these "hanging" chairs! They are certainly unique (a must for me), and might be a nice addition out there. Not to mention they look really cozy! Now which ones should I choose? Hmmm.....

HAPPY SUMMER!

YAY! Summer is officially here! Here's what summer means to me!

Fresh lemons!

Summer berries

Watching my chickens grow

Lots and lots of apricots...and learning how to make preserves!

Beautiful blooms

Relaxing in the grass

Apples......and homemade cobbler-YUM!

And lots of refreshing summer suds!
