It's the hot days of summer.........when one longs for the comfort of a shaded front porch

a wonderful place to gather with family, creating memories for years to come.......

 a place where friends  gather to share dreams and hopes.......

 a place for solitude and peace........to ponder one's thoughts..........

or a cozy place just for two to enjoy the closing of a day.

I have posted and shown you my front porch...........

a place for friends and family to gather on a hot day......

a place to sit and watch a gentle rain........

or the falling of snow.

and  my patio...............very hot in the day time.......

but a hot spot at night time for friends and family to gather around the fire. 

This is on another side of the house..........yes..........I need to paint ..........soon!!

This is a deck/balcony that was placed here by previous owners. They had it screened so that their cats could sit out in the day and remain safe from the predators. 

In the years that they lived here.........and the years we have been here, it has never been painted. 

This is the" before" photo above.

I have been wanting to fix it up for a cozy spot ........

for two........or one..........

to enjoy the early morning sunrise............

or the shaded east side afternoons.

So with paint and paint brush...........

I have made it look like this!  I added a rug and a table........

and a few plants..........

and a couple of rockers that my husband purchased a while back.

and now it is the perfect spot for the ending of the day.

Don't you think so?

Of course a porch always needs a vintage container with flowers.......

but this is the best part............ the view.  

This is where we can watch the wildlife move about on the grounds and in the trees.

It is serene.

The best way to say goodnight to another day.

How about you?
Tell me about your favorite spot..........or porch!
