It's been kind of cool and rainy the past couple of days here in New England but I'm not complaining at all, mind you - just stating a fact! A week ago we were having record-breaking temperatures hovering near the century mark on the thermometer - way too hot for June in my own humble opinion! - but since Saturday evening we've had rain and temperatures barely getting out of the 60's.
Personally, I don't mind the cooler weather at all (though I could do without so much rain if we're being honest!) but I think that the plants on my porch are getting somewhat confused with this constant change of temperatures! Still, they seem to be thriving and blossoming quite nicely so I thought I'd share a picture or two with you that I took recently.
My front porch looks to be a lovely place even though I can't boast of any anything fancier than a glider swing that my son gave me as a Mother's Day gift years ago, doesn't it? I'm hoping the weather warms up enough that I can go out and sit on said glider swing but doesn't get so hot that the porch is the last place I want to be! A little nicer weather is all I ask. Well, that and it might be nice to have someone to share that swing with but then I guess that would definitely be asking for too much! For now, I'll just take the nicer weather!

Your flowers are beautiful, Duchess Linda. And the porch looks most inviting.
ReplyDeleteSome of the perennials in our front yard have blossomed. I'll have to take some pix.
I still didn't buy any marigolds for my marigold spot. Soon.
Your porch looks very inviting. Ya got some sweet tea?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Patti, and Tisha I believe I could definitely find some sweet tea for all you Southern ladies who'd like to come and visit!
ReplyDeleteI love your front porch.. makes me want to plop down and snuggle on the glider with a good book and read...
ReplyDeleteOh Linda, your porch is just lovely! I hope you get chance to sit on it soon. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely place Linda. I love all the flowers. I'll keep my fingers crossed for warm weather and that you have some time off from all those doubles to enjoy your front porch. Have a great day. Big hug. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your front porch, Linda, and your flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI LIKE IT! I would love to relax on that porch and just plain old stare at stuff. Would be good for me right about now.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks like a cozy place to sit with some iced tea and a good book.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, Linda!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how I want to hang out there and read a book, drink coffee, and talk with you! I'm comin' over, K?
How about margaritas? I don't need no sweet tea. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous though-I can't grow anything. I've managed to already kill my mint. :(
oh how lovely! i'd love to sit there with you for a spell...

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
ReplyDelete***Who needs teak? As long as your butt doesn't hurt any place will do, especially with good friends!
~~~Blessings~~~
I had those flowers few years before but now I can't take care them and they died. Only for my shortage of time.
ReplyDeleteYour porch looks wonderful and relaxing. And I do want sweet tea. Connecticut has "raspberry tea" and no sweet tea. What is up with that??
