Hello and welcome to my first day of summer, porch party. Summer has arrived and our screened porch is where we spend so much of our spare time, so I thought you might enjoy a visit.
The bed is a perfect place to curl up with a book and a cold lemonade or tea.
or a good place to sit and chat for awhile.
You can enjoy the fragrance of the peonies ,roses and honeysuckle nearby- oh, and I mustn't forget the lilacs!
We enjoy the view of the southern garden from up here.
Did you notice the shutters got a new coat of paint-the floor also but I guess you can't see that.
We enjoy many family gatherings on our porch in summer
Like our brunch a few weeks ago.
Get in line and help yourself-there is always plenty of food.
Or maybe you would rather afternoon tea?
Tea and scones, are always nice-don't you think?
Or a light lunch of soup and sandwich
Lemonade and cookies hit the spot on a hot summer day
Our grandson Alec eyeing his options for afternoon tea.
The barefoot hostess setting up for tea.
Some guests arrived!
Also a good place for tea with granddaughter Jessica
A cup of tea for you.
Maybe now,you would just like to curl up for awhile on the bed, to read or have a little nap!
I will tiptoe out now while you relax and visit with Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses who is hosting this fun party again. After your little nap join us over at Rhondi's lovely porch to see all the other pretty porches.
This is also Cielo's Show off your Cottage Monday over at the lovely house in the roses so I am going to join in there also-so more pretty places for you to go see also.
Thank you so much for visiting and I will have lots of garden photos to share with you later this week, if you would like to visit again.
Enjoy!
Carolyn
