It's a porch party and you're invited....

Rhondi over at Rose Colored Glasses has invited all of her blogger friends to her First Annual Front Porch Party. All you have to do is post a photo of your porch or, if you don't have a porch, your dream porch. I love porches so I decided to join the fun.

Now, we don't have a front porch on our home but we do have a back deck which we love. But unfortunately you are not going to get to see pictures of it today. You see, we are in the process of building our new deck and are waiting for the rest of the railing to come in. So, I thought I would share with you the porch Jeff and I dream about spending our retirement years rocking on. And here it is-


Isn't it gorgeous? I have always loved timber frame homes and would love to build one as our retirement home. I just love the wood with the stone fireplace on this porch - it is so warm and inviting. I can just imagine sitting here on a cool spring morning with a nice cup of tea and my favorite decorating magazines. Or perhaps a fall evening while sharing a glass of wine with some friends. And I can just imagine rocking my grandchildren (that my children haven't given me yet) in one of those chairs. But that is only half our dream. We both would like to find a secluded little piece of land to build this home on that has something like this running through it -



Doesn't that just seem like heaven on earth and a perfect way to spend your golden years? I won't keep you any longer as I know there are a lot more beautiful porches to check out. Now hop on over to Rhondi's place and check out her beautiful porch. I know she has some delicious treats waiting for you. Enjoy your tour and come back again soon, JoAnne
