It’s A Porch Party!

I’m joining Rhondi’s Porch Party at Rose Colored Glasses.

It’s really hot here in Texas, so please gather underneath the pavilion and I’ll turn the ceiling fan on.

I have lots of seating, so everyone find a spot, and I’ll go get the iced tea. Who wants sugar and who wants sugar substitute, and who wants it unsweetened with a lemon wedge? I’ve also got mint and lemon verbena and lemon balm in the garden if anyone wants a sprig.

While I’m in the kitchen, you can stroll around my little yard. And look, a water lily has sprung up for us to enjoy.

Some of you may want to sit under the gazebo in the courtyard up front.

The rats are long gone, ladies. So don’t worry about any creatures in the garden. Except for two dogs and a cat.

I don’t know why, but the fairy gardens are doing better than most anything else in the yard. Maybe the fairies bring me good karma.

There’s plenty of butterflies flitting about. I’ve seen both orange and blue dragonflies out here buzzing around the pond today too.

I sure hope you like fun in the sun. Because we’ve got plenty of that around East Texas today.

I want to announce the winner of the CSN $100 gift certificate too.

Number 84 is none other than Sue From Black Eyed Susan’s Kitchen!

Congratulations, Susan!

Remember the yellow chair gardens? Growing like weeds.

And the red one out there in the stone garden is too.

I’ve still got my old rusty $5 wagon full of gazing balls.

I hope you enjoyed your tour.

I sure do thank you girls for stopping on your way to Rhondi’s party. Tell her I said hi from Texas, will you?
