ou are welcome to join the porch party today, and if you stopped by to see my post for WHERE BLOGGERS CREATE II, you can click HERE.
Rhondi from Rose Colored Glasses is hosting her third annual Porch Party Today.
We don't have a front porch, but we enjoy our deck and our Gazebo. 
Every year we fill the deck with pots of flowers, 
and some hanging plants.
Cocoa 
and Samantha love to sit on our deck.
I like to sit at the table 
and enjoy the view.
Rhondi has something really special planned for today.
So, please stop by and visit all the wonderful porches at Rhondi's place.
The song for this post is Never Never Land...that's what I think the Land of Blog is, filled with parties, sunshine and lovely words.
Oh, how beautiful, Karen! And I love your little four-footed family members enjoying the outdoors! Your deck and your yard are lovely. And I bet you have nice weather to enjoy them. We are "warm", and that is putting it mildly. I roasted doing today's post, but it was fun (except for chair wrestling).
ReplyDeleteHappy First Day of Summer Porch Party...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful home and garden you have.
All your flowers, petunias, Cocoa and Samantha are all gorgeous.
Enjoy your porch party and week

Your deck is so pretty Karen and I have always thought your gazebo looks so magical at the top of those stairs. The chaise lounge on your deck is calling my name, I would love to doze in the sun for a while:>)
ReplyDeleteKaren looks like you live in a beautiful part of the world. Love the view from the deck.

ReplyDeleteYour deck is lovely! I love your view and your pretty flowers. It looks like a wonderplace to enjoy a glass of lemonade, or sit with friends during a wonderful dinner.

Hi Karen
ReplyDeleteI have missed all my blogging friends especially you! Thanks for joining my party today. It's really hot here today so a tall glass of that lemonade would be just the thing. I'm going to visit for awhile and see "where you create".
Hugs, Rhondi
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming over for a visit...yes, while I was in the constant collecting phase I joked that one day it would become "retirement income"...well...it's no joke these days..:0)
Finally, finally after almost 5 years of major life changes and moves I can get my business running again.
Thanks again for your kind comments,
Stephanie ♥
Good morning, dear Karen.
ReplyDeleteI love your outdoor spaces. Your eye for beauty is reflected in everything you touch. I so enjoy the quiet of outdoors.
We have wanted to build a gazebo in our woods for years, but it never seems to make it to the top of our list. My husband built the bridge over our creek bed about ten years ago, and he has even laid the stone path to where we want to put the gazebo. Maybe one of these days we'll get it done.
Karen, your yard and gardens are absolutely stunning...and your deck looks like a wonderful place to wile away a summers day...
ReplyDeleteKaren!! just beautiful pics!

xoxo
It brings me great joy to visit your enchanted garden!
