Porch Swing and Flowers

AH....the porch swing. So many ideas wrapped up in one little picture - lazy days, salads, smiles, easy times, talking, waving to people as they walk by.

Our family loves the porch swing! We have three porches and they all offer their own quaintness. This one is perfect because it's on the cool side of the house in the summer and gets the perfect breeze all day long. We wave to passers-by and sip lemonade and talk when we are out on the porch. Things magically slow down and I love it!

In the evenings, we turn on the porch light and fan. It glows like it is it's own room and radiates well-being.


These are my favorite little flowers with the most amazing smell. These are Lily of the Valley. They only bloom once a year, so time stops for me when I can appreciate these delicate beauties.

I picked one the other day and rolled the little bell between my fingers to get the most scent. Absolutely wonderful!

So much fragrance in just a centimeter of beauty.

The purple Phlox is also an early bloomer, blooming once a year as well. It's so pretty to see the gorgeous flowers peeking out and then showcased right by the porch.
