Welcome to the Front Porch

I am in
~farmhouse~
 mode this month
we love our little
~farmhouse~
we used to spend 6 months a year
~here~
now we come just in the summer for our annual
~family reunion~
that will be next week
we have been doing yardwork
non-stop
The Hubs created a monster
over the last 10 years....

We will start with the
front porch...
Check out the
 Before & After Party at


&
Outdoor Wednesdays at




Spring

~Summer~
my beloved Kramer on the right
may he R.I.P


~Fall~

Winter..... dahhh

Summer last year
before we lost our roses & pond

Now for this year














I'm not sure  the name of these pretty little
succulants
but I love them....


Some more yard
~before & afters~

The Hubs and Brother Bill made this wagon.....
very cool, but I only filled it with flowers 2 years
too much work watering and
tough seeing the deer destroy all that
hard work


Our 5 acre
*working farm*
the only thing working on it is
US

We have the most beautiful green lake
no one really knows why it turns
such a beautiful color



~Before~
years prior


years prior.....

~After~
newly painted pump
newly stained barrel
newly pecked by
Woody Woodpecker.....


notice giant hole in the barrel




I like the orange mums with the red pump



~Before~
Hubs made this a few years ago
I planted,
 a group effort
for 2 accounting types this is
big for us!

~After~
Newly stained and loving my Zinnias this year
they are suppose to be deerproof
we will see
4 nights and counting

More to come,
we are almost done

  5. I thought I was already a follower but didn't see my little face on here!! It is there now!!

    I absolutely LOVE your place. I can't imagine not living there full time! My husband is in awe of it right now! Especially the lake.

    Your farmhouse front porch and yard just looks amazing. As for the wagon, I think that is so cool! I would plant marigold seeds each year because once they start growing, you don't have to do much watering and the smell keeps the deer from eating them!! (I planted them in our front yard for that reason!)

    Take care and thanks for your sweet comments on my blog!

  8. I just was looking back through posts I missed. Your place has the most stunning views and that lake is so pretty. Not blue like that around here.
