The weather people lied again! The decent weather with sunshine didn’t happen until later Sunday afternoon. Saturday was too windy and cold to work outside, washing the house and front porch.
The front of our house and front porch has been in dire need of a good scrubbing with a house cleaner. We get a lot of dust and dirt living on the main road, but it’s all part of the charm of living in an old historic house.
We talked about our front porch when we were stuck at home with covid and decided to change things up this year.
We both agreed on no huge petunias this year. They block the view of the street and make a mess. I loved them but want a cleaner look with less upkeep.
We picked out some new pillows and outdoor area rugs, a small plant stand, and a couple of candles. I still need to buy some new flower pots and eventually flowers.
Project dirty porch lasted most of the day, but we were happy with the results. Everything is clean, including the sectional furniture that needed a good scrub.
The sun came out while we were finishing up, then we sat on the porch with a drink for the first time this year. The boys, Otto & Klaus were so happy to be sitting on the porch again too. Otto looked like a young pup in this one photo.
It’s still cold and far from summer weather, but I didn’t mind wearing a hoody sipping a glass of Prosecco while watching the world whiz by. 🙁
Loved your blog today. Your porch is so nice and such a cute picture of Otto and Klaus, enjoying being on the couch again. Hopefully the sun and warm weather will return. Until then, enjoy…..
