The inside of the front porch is as done as it's going to get this summer. The porch floor needs repainting, but it still looks passable. The window needs to be reputtied too, and we might get that done yet. I'll try to get a better pic of the color tomorrow. This was taken early this evening through the screen door. We bought the chairs at last year...they bounce, which I love. Someday I might recover the cushions in a more fun fabric.
Here's my sweet doggie peeking out at me.
The roses by the back patio are starting to put on a show. I think they are some kind of floribunda or rambler. They go everywhere, so this year we put an arch over the walkway so they can lean on and ramble over that instead of the sidewalk.
Dawn posted some pics of what our formerly flooded town looks like now, so I thought I'd do the same. Here is the pedestrian bridge in January and now...quite a difference!
Earlier in the spring Dawn gave me this beautiful planter as part of a blogland Pay It Forward. Thank you Dawn! Now it is my turn to pay it forward.How does it work?
Here are the rules: I will send a gift (of my choosing) to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this "PIF" exchange, and who make the same pledge on their own blog.
The only thing you have to do in return is PAY IT FORWARD - on your own blog.
So, if you want to get a goodies from me, and are willing to do the same via your blog, let me know!
(Note that you'll need to give me your real (snail mail) address... which you can do by private email.)
Just leave a comment and I will get with you.

Your porch is very nice. I am just starting to fix up ours. I have never really done anything with it when the kids were small. I am going to post later a few finds that I put out there.
Oh and I'll play along that sounds neat.
Your porch looks great! Now you have two nice porches. I have to clean mine, but it's pretty much as done as it's going to get this year also. I'm concentrating on the flower beds. We have the one on the left of the porch completed. You'll have to come and see. Next will be the flower bed to the right of the porch. I've already bought my roses. I hope they survive until I can get them in the ground.
When I get back from our quick trip I'm going to try to post some pics of my flower bed.
