Porch Sitting Time?

Oh yes I think so. I hadn't been out there much since I came home in October. I had it cleaned up but the wind that comes up the street is constant so I really hadn't done anything much since. Today after going for a couple walks I decided it was time to clean it up again. So I got busy. After sitting out there for awhile the sun was really burning my left ankle. Took a good look around and started moving the chairs around. I have this beautiful rocking chair that I brought home from my dad's house. It was the only piece of furniture I wanted when we emptied the house. I wanted to for my bedroom. When we brought in it wouldn't fit through the door. I had it in the living room for awhile but it just didn't work. We put it out on the porch and I wrapped it up it really good until some one could think if it could fit in their house or something. Today I unwrapped the chair and put in the far corner of the porch. It works there and it will not be in the elements. I also bought a canvas cover for it. So when it isn't in use I will keep it covered. I think when I leave this summer I will put it in the house so it won't be out in the heat.
I always have flowers out there but this fall I just didn't do that either. I think tomorrow I will go to Lowe's and get just a few to make it more cozy. I even filled the humming bird feeder, now if I can keep the woodpeckers off it I will be happy.

After the clean up was done I sat out there for a couple hours and crocheted.

But it started getting chilly and Fred and I needed to go for another walk.
We ended the day with that final walk and then I had dinner and just sat and relaxed.

Hope your weekend is going well.

  1. Sounds like you had a Suzy Homemaker sort of day. Adjusting the nest for your comfort. That's beyond my skill level.
