Front Porch in September

This is the last full month that my houseplants can be guaranteed of a hospitable climate on the front porch.  Some time in October, a freeze warning will hover into view and all these plants will make their way inside for the cold weather season.  The flowers, which are looking blowsy and overgrown, will fade in the chill.  When that happens, the cooler weather will also send me reluctantly inside.  But that time isn’t here yet and so I plan to enjoy every bit of the warm days that remain.  The table has plants that have grown splendidly all Summer long.  

The sunflower flag marks the close of Summer, even if it doesn’t quite welcome it.

The Summer wreath is back for one last month.

The porch remains welcoming and when there is time, I always take advantage of a few minutes in this rocker.

That’s happy!
