porch time


Rhondi is having a "porch party" today and since I love porches, I just had to join in.
  (Visit her blog if you want to see more porches in celebration of the first day of summer.)


I grew up in a house with a screen porch, but it wasn't until three years ago, through a friend's generosity, that we were able to have a porch on our own house.


We enjoy our porch so much and not a day goes by that I don't stop and think about how blessed we are.


Even when it's dreadfully hot and humid we can manage to sit out at least in the evening and early morning.


Of course the friends that join us on our porch are the best part of it all!

  3. I love your screened porch and will be wishing mine was screened when the mosquitoes start eating us alive.
    If you find that rooster chair missing don't come looking here!

  4. Lovely porch and how nice to share with friends. I'd love a covered porch ... not enough room! Have a wonderful week.

  5. I am envious of your screened porch Podso. There have been many times that I've wished we had a porch of any sort...but out the front.
    We spend way too much time in the back when we could be out talking to neighbours and inviting them to sit and join us.

  8. Screened in porches are the best. We spend many summer evenings on ours. Yours looks like a wonderful place for family and friends.

  9. Your screened porch looks like a wonderful place to relax on a nice summer day, Podso! I wish I had one on my home.
    Happy Mosaic Monday!
    PS Where did you go to school in NYC?

  12. Oh yes, you're really lucky to have this type of porch. I can't tell if there are glass windows- can you use it all three-seasons, or is it heated? It looks pretty roomy with all that furniture in it!
    I would love to have ANY kind of porch where I could set out some furniture and sit and relax. Maybe next house, because the one I'm in just won't facilitate us adding one on.
    Thanks for sharing yours with us, Podso.

  14. My favorite part of your porch is that there is enough room to hold a table. I can just imagine its convenience for partaking in an early morning cup of coffee or tea or a small luncheon with friends.

  15. This looks like a perfect spot to be. We have a deck but not a covered porch. I would like that I think.
    Of course friends are the best part.

  16. Where do I start? I love everything about your porch, and that cute painted chair is making my heart flutter. Love the table and how you have it set, and I love that you showed your friends enjoying your hospitality. I just wish I could sit out there and visit with you. It looks wonderful!

    Happy Porch Party, Podso...

    XO,

  17. Yes, I grew up in a house with the screened in back porch. We ate supper out there a lot in the summer. We had an old glider out there too. Aww, good memories.

  21. Ahh, screened porches remind me of growing up. We would have sleepovers on my aunt's old farmhouse screened porch. How enchanting. Fun to see your friends too.

  25. I love a front porch from which to watch the neighborhood or just enjoy the quiet. My favorite childhood memory is sitting in a huge (well, I was little) wicker rocker on the front porch. There was always a stack of books to be read and bottomless glasses of lemonade.

    Nice memory!

    Best,
    Bonnie
