Porch With Roses


I am thinking of spring.


Of roses



This is the courtyard of a local museum house taken in December. 
We had an oddly warm December.


The rockers are not embedded in the roses I am tricking you with the camera.
I love this porch and have photographed it many times. 
I hope you do not tire of it.

may joy and peace surround you
Olive

    Love the photos! I don't suppose you'd consider making your font a bit bigger, would you?

    Simply beautiful of the rockers in the roses.
    Your font is big enough, for me.

    It has been a mild winter. My verbena is still blooming some and my petunias are still alive.

    Beautiful photos. We had an oddly mild December here in Illinois. Not today. Temperatures are in the teens, and we have a blanket of snow.

    "With roses?" I asked myself? Amazing. December was not that long ago! But, I'm dreaming of spring too.

    Who could ever tire of a beautiful porch like that? Those pictures do look inviting. Wish the outdoors looked like that right now!

    How pretty! I would love to rock and rock on that pretty porch and smell the scent from the roses. Especially at around 67'! :)

    Olive,
    what a "happy" vibe your new header gives off, love it! I'm starting to get that spring itch too! (I think the tree is ready to come down)!

    Olive -- I love porches, roses and rockers -- what a gorgeous photo!!

    Thank you for your tutorial on comments - I always wanted to add that feature and never took the time to figure it out :)

    Thanks also for the suggestion of Neti Pot -- I am such a chicken about putting anything in my nose, lol. I know it would help though - my NP always suggests it when I go see her for sinus infection 1-2x per year :)
