Rain...

at last!!! Sadly, for Maggie, there was also thunder and lightening. I do not know why she is fearful. We got her as a puppy and nothing has happened to scare her this way. She shakes and wants to be close. This is unusual for the usually fearless Border Collie.

I sat with her on the porch, except when I was taking pictures of her terror, reassuring her and loving her until the thunder passed.

Maggie finally calmed and went to sleep.

Dreaming Porch Is Complete



...until we change it again. Now I shall show you all the strange corners.

A single old chair on which to sit when the rain is blowing in.

Old cream can with cedar adorned with glow in the dark snakes.

A broken aquarium filled with rock collection and a little humor

Dad's old cage with wood cookies, two gourds, part of a sewing machine, and an old crock

May you always have a breeze and May your dreams come true!

Refreshing The Dreaming Porch

Beverly has decided the porch needed a face lift. She is painting and once again we are thinning and balancing everything.

These are the two new rugs I fell in love with at Big Lots. I knew I wouldn't get to use them for rugs! Bev had the perfect purpose for them.

This table with the pine cones and sweet gum balls is one I made about four years ago with scraps I found in the old barn. The legs are cedar tree cuts. It is edged with worn uneven two by fours. The center is an old piece of bead board I cut to fit and interlocked them for the top. Rustic was the look I was going for and I think I made it.
These two chairs are old office chairs that had been left out in the weather. Bev and I recovered the seats and placed this funky table there.
I am wanting to spend more time on this porch. We have more to do but getting closer.
