My parent's have a simply beautiful home! At the base of a mountain with a big, wide front yard, surrounded by woods on three sides, with a barn, a garden, a pond, and a large backyard pool, Mom and Dad's offered a mere kid heaven that had everything we could have wanted as children! One of my favorite things? The back porch. So many memories took place back there! Running up all wet and drippy from the pool to eat a quick lunch. Hot summer nights eating watermelon. Putting on Mom's heels and playing that the porch was my classroom and clip-cloping around "teaching." Curled up on the porch swing reading a good book. Laying on the couch taking an outdoor nap. Sitting out there with the family listening to thunder rumble in the distance waiting for storms to blow in. I have so many memories on that back porch and today I had to stop and daydream about it while the cold, wet wind blew outside.

So, I am in love with your new background! Those flowers make me so giddy :)! I am so happy that I got to hear your voice yesterday and that I will see you soon.
What a FABULOUS back porch :)! I hope the next time we visit your parents we can sit out there and chat the night away.
Let me know the next time you are going! I want to go with you!!
Hi! I loved this post, just because it took me back to summer afternoons on the porch. I love that porch too. It might be my favorite place at Mom and Dad's. Lets be sure to spend some time there when I visit in July. You, me, and Mom and a glass of wine!
And you previous post was really great, loved all the pictures, and I totally share your dream gardening ideas. I even bought Zinnia seeds, two months ago, even though we're still too cold and I don't know if I can defend them from all the rabbitts. But I was hopefull. And that was sweet of you to mention my blog! Thanks!
Admit it, you miss living here! :-) Just kidding, I know you love it in the 'boro, but we miss you and La here!
