Outdoor Life

I've mentioned before how much I love our porch. It's a quiet little retreat from the city- green, breezy and relaxing. When I saw Gussy's Inspiration Workshop post for today, I just had to join! It's all about the porch!!!

I love to walk out here before cooking dinner and gather fresh herbs! We're growing thyme, rosemary and basil!

Our porch looks out onto our backyard and our neighbor's backyard- this is their gorgeous rose bush that has crawled up the fence that separates our yards! How lovely!

When we're having dinner on the porch, I can gaze down onto our thriving little garden! It's pretty nice to eat dinner with garden fresh veggies and see right where they grew!


Mike and I spend almost every night in the summer out on the porch. We catch up while dinner is cooking. We share a meal. We play board games while the sun goes down. We listen to music out there. We enjoy time with friends. We have a cup of coffee on lazy weekend mornings. We discuss the important and the mundane. We celebrate and we problem solve. Sometimes, we just sit together and hold hands. It's our little place and I love every moment we spend on our little porch.
