Warmer weather wondering..

With the weather becoming warmer (72 degrees this weekend!) I'm getting as excited about decorating outside at Sunnybrook as I am about decorating the kitchen.....almost.  I posted a picture yesterday of the wooden Betsy Ross flag Jim and I made. All it needs is another light coat of paint and the eye-hooks and chains to hang it with and it's ready to go.  Plus, I'll have to have a real American flag for the front porch. What American farmhouse would be complete without one of those!? 

However, first we need to move a lot of old wood and other debris from the kitchen side of the porch..... and the whole porch probably needs to be painted.  That won't be too big of a job though. A can of paint and a paint roller and that job can get checked off in no time. It'll be painted back green....same as now.  Then let the decorating begin!!!!

I adore both these porches. I think they just shout spring and summer. 



In actuality I've never been too good at getting plants to look this lush.

  

Look how quaint this small porch is! I love it! It just says country in so many ways.



I also love window boxes.....and red geraniums....




.....and wild roses. 



Happy almost spring!
