I'm participating in the above HUGE BLOG Party this week. Today, our focus is porches, etc. Here's a few of my favorite pics taken over the last few years.
This was last year before we moved the Knock-out roses to the back.
Tablescape on the porch...serving Cajun style Red Beans and Rice.
A view of the left side. Peppermint Encore Azaleas are blooming and Jasmine is blooming on the back arbor.
A view of the right side of the porch. Over here, the Christmas Cheer azaleas are blooming. Definitely some of my favorite.
I enjoy using these wreaths on the front door. A dear friend gave me the one on the left when my mother passed away. Three weeks later, my grandmother passed and our church had that wreath made knowing I had double doors. They are so special to me.
We're in the Courtyard below. Mr. Dumpling built this last year. We're having a Mango Salsa snack outside before it gets too hot.
Enjoying some Blackberry Mint tea, heart shaped sugar cookies and my current Southern Lady magazine. Love Southern Lady.
With TWO days notice, we actually had a wedding on our front porch. We worked like crazy people, power washed everything...and they were a gorgeous couple.
See you tomorrow to continue with our Blog Party.

What an absolutely gorgeous porch! I so wish I had a porch! Thanks for the blog visit :)
Beautiful! Those roses are knockouts...is that really the name of them?
Such a sweet and special story about the wreaths...and they, and the rest of what I see of your house, sure made a beautiful place for a wedding!

Who wouldn't enjoy spending time on your porch! We are having a porch wedding later this summer, so if you have tips to share, pass them on.
That blackberry mint tea sound delicious and what a beautiful porch to sip it on. Those wreaths on your doors are not only gorgeous but so special. I love this blog party because I'm meeting so many new friends.

I could seriously just live on your porch! It's perfect...amazing! And blackberry tea...I'll be googling that recipe soon!
Great job!
What's not to love!!?!?!? You have a stunning home! I came by via Susan's party, but I missed it myself. I took pics of my pergola all dressed up this afternoon (with the 2 hour lull in the rain), and I REALLY hope you'll stop by and take a peak, and let me know what you think of the progress! :)

What a beautiful porch. Your home is one of my favorite styles.
how special to have a wedding at your home and the most charming spot in town, I'd be willing to bet :) Everything is so lovely - would adore the chance to join you at one of those pretty little tables for a lazy chit chat and a nice cold drink :) take care and thank you for your very kind and thoughtful comments!!
Your porch is gorgeous, Judy! How wonderful it must be to sit in that chair, reading your magazine and sipping at some tea! I would love a porch ~ I'd even take a little one. Thanks so much for your really nice comment about my dresser!
Oh my goodness, what a lovely porch!
And two days notice for a wedding???
I had 6 months notice and nearly had fits.
How did you do it?
You are my hero.
