The back screened in porch and deck are officially finished. The deck and steps still have to be stained and sealed but there is a waiting time on that.
The company came today and put the guttering on the porch. Last week, my grandson finished up my flower beds.
It's hard to believe it went from this....
to this....
to this....
to this in about four weeks....
And Bella and I are loving it. Now just to finish up all the stuff I want for the inside of the porch.
The mums are just popping out all over.
In all colors.
The purple sweet potato vine is flowering like crazy.
The hydrangeas are still blooming.
We had an unbelievable thunder and lightning storm about 5 this morning. I lost a huge limb out of my tree in the front yard. We then got wonderful rain and it is so cool and pleasant. Wish we could send some of the rain to California for those in distress.
Thanks to all of you who sent and/or dropped by to bring me buttons for my bubble gum machine. I think I'm about to get it filled.
You all are so sweet!!
Enjoy!
Judy

ReplyDeleteJudy, it's wonderful!! your french doors at the back are beautiful, they were begging for that porch!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a transformation! It's beautiful! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. There's nothing like a sun porch for relaxing with a tall iced tea and a favorite book.
ReplyDeleteSorry your tree lost a branch. But those mums are gorgeous as is the pretty hydrangeas. Do you dry your hydrangeas? I hear they make nice fall arrangements.
Also, meant to comment on your fall decorating but forgot so I'll post it here. Love, love, love all that you've done and like everyone else that little truck is a hit - every thing is just perfect.
Enjoy the rain. We finally received a little bit of rain here in Portland Oregon this morning. Forecast says we'll have more tomorrow. Sure hope the cooler temps also last all week. Take care and enjoy your lovely new sun porch.
Oh Judy, your screen in porch is lovely and it looks terrific. You and Bella will enjoy many hours out there. The mums are so pretty. We are just getting them in at the stores and nurseries and pumpkins too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you got some rain. We are suppose to get some in the morning and I can hardly wait. You will probably see on the news that some crazy lady was dancing in the rain in her nightgown LOL.
Enjoy your new porch. Hugs to Bella.

Beautiful porch and BLOOMS! I love this time of year:) Have a blessed day dear friend! I am praying for California!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so charming and welcoming, Judy. Bravo! You done good!
ReplyDeleteI love your screen porch! When I was growing up we had a big screened in porch on the back of our house much like yours. We lived out there all spring summer and early fall. Mom served dinner out there every night. I have such fond memories. You and your family will be creating your own wonderful memories on your porch too!!
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
