The View From My Front Porch 2014





Last Summer, I wrote a few posts on 'the view from my front porch.'  Yesterday was the first official day that I got to sit on my porch, sip some coffee, and soak in some amazing sunshine.  

The view isn't much as far as flowers are concerned, yet.  I have a few tulips blooming, but they are looking a little scraggly as they survived an inch of pea-sized hail, and high winds, on Sunday.  Spring has been trying to arrive, but Winter keeps holding on with it's icy fingers.  The past two days have been amazing, sunshine, warmer temps, so hopefully we are moving on with Spring!!  After watching the weather channel the past two days, I am not going to complain, though.  Our prayers are with so many who are dealing with loss after the storms raged through parts of our country.  

The view from my front porch is changing.  We will be getting new neighbors soon, as one place in our little corner of the neighborhood just sold.  Soon, the family we have watched grow up for the past eight years will be packing up and moving to a house out in the country.  Another family will be moving soon, as well, due to needing to relocate because of work.  We have all been neighbors for eight years, so it will be strange to have two out of six homes have new people living in them.   

This was the view from my front porch this morning as I sipped on my coffee, and enjoyed a green smoothie.  My sweet pup is now 12.  I think she is waiting for a walk around the neighborhood, or to go out to the garden and plant some lettuce seeds.  If you have read my blog at all, you know she is probably waiting on planting the carrot seeds, as she loves to eat, and dig up, the carrots!

30 Days of Thanks, day 5




If you aren't an animal lover, you probably will think that what I am thankful for today is a bit strange, but if you are an animal lover, you will understand.  Today I am thankful for my dog.  She is my constant companion, by my side like a shadow.  My cousin stayed with us one night when her mom was down here in the hospital.  She calls my dog a therapy dog because she knew my cousin was sad, and having a tough time, and she sat by her and cuddled next to her the entire night. If you have read this blog for any amount of time, you know my dog provides entertainment as well...she pulls up and eats entire rows of carrots in the garden, leaving the greens laying in an orderly row; she gets stuck in garden fences trying to keep her out of the carrots; she pushed a chair across the kitchen floor to get to the counter top where there were fresh baked cookies; and on and on.  I am thankful for a dog who is so full of life and love.  God brings us blessings in many forms, look around you today and see how He has blessed you.
