Porch Club.

Hi all,
I am joining Jill @ Gypsy Brocante for her first ever Porch club.  This came along at a good time for me.
With the snow piling up ever deeper and deeper, I need a little Springtime dreaming.

Our front porch is small but it's also colorful and cozy!
We dine out here....

We spend many cozy evenings on our front porch.   Hubby and I chat and enjoy the views....

Summertime view from our front porch...
Lily likes to sunbathe and hunt for mice!  Or meezer's as my hubby likes to call them.
She is an amazing hunter and generally needs to bring me her catch of the day.  I would prefer she didn't, but I try to ooh and aahh just enough to get her to run the other way.

I plant lot's of flowers on our porch!  I especially like petunias which really thrive!  Our front porch faces  the East so we get some wonderful morning sun.

And in the early morning we usually see several of these fellows!

We have some comfy wicker chairs to sit on.

And since an Apple Cottage really should have red, we painted our front door and shutters a shade called Apple Red. Thanks for letting me take a little summertime trip!
And have a lovely week everyone!
Cindy
I am also joining the very talented Marty @ A Stroll Thru Life for Tabletop Tuesday.

Sunday Favorites/ Deer Frolicking in the snow!

I am joining my friend Chari, for Sunday Favorites.  Check out her lovely blog, you won't be wanting to leave.  I love this deer video my hubby shot last winter and I hope you will too!
This short little video clip (very short)  was taken with our digital camera and through our living room picture window.  (If you want to make it bigger, press ctrl and scroll mouse away from you)   Had we had stepped outside, they would have scattered. For a $5.00 bag of corn, we have cheap and fun enertainment. Hey it's winter in Wisconsin, we have to get creative!!!  You can hear us in the background counting deer.....like I said,  it's winter in Wisconsin.  Just trying to keep our sanity during these long winter months!  Do you have anything special you use to combat cabin fever?  Just don't tell me a week in Mexico, although that would work.
