I am a Victorian Soul, who lives in a small townhouse that was built in the mid 1970's, not a huge Mega Mansion!! I just recently lost my Hubby Joe, who was a Retired Letter Carrier. I worked night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 37 years before I had Knee Replacement Surgery and officially Retired in 2019 after 41 years working in Direct Patient Care ... I am so glad that we retired at 62 years of age and got to spend that time together before he passed....I still do love Retirement!!!!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

A Year on my Front Porch.....


I want to THANK Kathy over at A Delightsome Life for featuring my Preparing for a Craft Fair Post
from last week's Home and Garden Thursday Party!!

Once again, I am very honored and flattered!! Thanks so much , Kathy!

Please visit and maybe link up to Kathy's wonderful Home and Garden Thursday Party!!

 I know I said I would not be posting as much because I am starting my Christmas decorating but I recently visited a post over at Cottage in the Oaks, titled  A Year of Front Porches .

I was so inspired by this post that I thought I would do a similar one of my own.

Joe and I will be decorating the front of our townhouse for Christmas on Monday as the temps. here will be back up into the high 50's again . It has been in the 30's and 40's for the past week so we thought we better take advantage of the warmer temps. here in Pa. coming next week.

So this is A Year on my Front Porch...

 Autumn/Halloween 2012










  I don't have a front porch in the since of the way a single home has a front porch. Mine is connected to my next door neighbor's porch. But I do love and enjoy my porch and love to decorate it and the front of our townhouse for every Season and Holiday.

By the way, I made all the wreaths that you have seen in this post!

I hope you enjoyed seeing A Year on my Front Porch.

And now it starts all over again with Christmas decorating. This year, all the lights on our front porch will be energy efficient LED Warm White lights.

There may be a bit of snow on my Front Porch tonight as we have some snow predicted for today.....

I also want to let everyone know that I started a few boards on Pinterest. There is a button on my side bar if you would like to see my boards. BUT because of copyright and all kinds of legal issues, I am only going to be pinning pictures that I , myself, have taken on these boards. Unless you give me direct permission to pin your pictures on my boards.You are welcome to pin any images from my blogs as long as you link back to my blogs.

This is my most pinned image on Pinterest...
I took this picture in 2010 at one of my favorite places to visit at Christmas time, Country Folks Gift Store.
Last year, I did not get to visit there but this year, I plan on getting there if it kills me and I will share all the wonderful ideas that I see there with all of you...

On another note.....

I am so very glad that the Election is FINALLY over.  I don't talk politics on my blogs but I do want to mention that Joe is a die hard Republican where I am an Independent. I voted for both Democrats and Republicans in this election.

 But I what I feel is important is to get out and VOTE and voice your opinion , no matter what it may be!

I will say just one thing about the outcome....

4 More Years!!!!

In saying this, I am sure you can only imagine what the last several months have been like in my house!!

LOL!!
