Oh dear, is it that time already? My porch is not quite ready yet. Oh well, I'm sure my friends will understand. Where I live, it is not a good idea to start planting annuals outdoor until after Memorial Day ... we still get cold nights before then. I usually have planters in front ... but anyway, WELCOME to my humble porch, my friends! Have you been to Rhondi's porch party? I am one of the front porch party participants. Oh yes, Rhondi, wishing you a Happy, Happy Birthday! Hope you have many more to come. The weather forecast this weekend will go up to upper 90's and I have more chairs inside so please, do come in ... it is cooler indoor.
This is the front view of my front porch, my Peonies are blooming! I have more rows of peonies at the west side of our house but for some reason, the buds are still tight. Ahhh, it is so nice to see and smell fresh flowers!
This is the other end of my porch ... as you can see, we have an old timer "glider" that I plan to refinish this summer and debating what color to use ... any suggestions?
Well my friends, I'm afraid this is not much of a party, but thank you for stopping by. Please come and visit again as I do the same.

Nance-
That is a very nice porch that you have. Really nice wood floor and the spindle railing. Would give anything to have a porch like yours as our front porch has no railing and is more a small deck.
I visited your blog and see you have milk glass as my mother does also. Was a fun time seeing your porch and your blog!

Hi Nance... your porch will be just the spot for 90 degree weather. The peonies are beautiful! How lucky you are!
Hello Nance!

OK, I love your darling porch!!! Thanks for sharing! xo!
Hi Nance!
What a lovely porch you have! I love the old glider!! We had one that "came" with our porch on our very first house! Looked exactly the same only it was a horrid green. There were cushions for it and I can't tell you how much we used it and enjoyed it. I guess I vote for black or a soft green, you could have some real fun with fabrics for the cushions. And if that sounds too bold, white goes with everything!! Thanks for the wonderful memories Nance!

Gliders are one of my favorite things! And you have one! I'm envious. I'd love that project.
It's very nice to meet you!
And your porch is lovely, just as it is!

Oh, I love your porch; wished I have one just like it.
Re:glider - you can never go wrong with white.
Later, dudette!
Hi Nance
Glad you made it to the party. I love those old gliders. I think it would be great in aqua or red but white always looks crisp.

Hi Nance, love your porch and your glider! I like the look of vintage metal painted in a soft green. Your peonys look so pretty. I love the scent of them, I always bring a few in.
Blessings, Shirl

Hi Nance!
I am sorry I am late for your porch party! I love the older glider. I can't wait to see how you paint it...
Penny
I absolutely adore your vintage porch rocker! Wish you could send a little of the cooler air our way! LOL! ~Rhonda ;)

Great porch, the glider will look wonderful once painted. Suggestion; get rid of the plastic furniture.
