Decorating a small front porch certainly has it challenges.
Every time I walk into a store or the garage I see something that I can put outside on the porch.
But it’s not big enough to hold everything, so I have to be selective. Which I hate. Every time I start to add cushions or pillows, I really want a long epic front porch with white columns and enough space for 4 huge rocking chairs. A couch, more chairs, tons of plants both colorful and aromatic.
But, by the time I am done washing the porch off, sweeping the cobwebs and of course placating the dog; I am glad I don’t have a huge porch.
Oh, placating the dog? Shadow & I usually spend a couple hours a week sitting outside together, so when I go out there without her? She lets me know she’s pissed.
Woof, woof.
Hmmpppffh
Snort, Woof
That means “uhhh mother, you forgot me” in dog speak.
She doesn’t quite understand that if she is out there laying in her favorite spot, I cannot walk around tweak things.
Especially sweep or hose the porch down. She is not a lover of water.
But it is cozy enough for two adults and one 75lb hairball.
So I’ll take it.
It has been raining/pouring all day and the sun finally poked out long enough to snap a few quick pictures for you.
It felt really good to be outside today, even if it was sprinkling off and on.
Have you been able to do any decorating or gardening outside in your area?
