An Invitation to the porch

It's still early and the house is quiet with the girls sleeping and my son and husband off to work.  I steal this time to grab some juice, my laptop, and head out to my porch.  Nothing says California summer more than being outdoors and my porch, accented with white iron rusty chairs, comfy down filled pillows and chippy paint urns, provides the perfect place to create a post that links to the wonderful Kathleen's White Wednesday at Faded Charm.

In just a few hours this time of sitting on my porch and taking in the surroundings of white english roses growing wildly out of control, hydrangeas bursting into bloom and old glory standing tall and proud, will be long gone. The fresh air will melt away into a typical summer day of daily tasks...driving Ally to tennis lessons, picking up Ally from tennis lessons, driving her to a friend's house, picking her up from the friend's house, stopping by the grocery store, preparing dinner...

And even though the morning serenity will be gone before I know it, I look forward to heading back to the porch later in the evening with a glass of wine to take in the last moments of this long summer sunlight day. I hope you will join me on my porch this Wednesday morning or evening as I link up with #158 White Wednesday.

One of my favorite items on my porch is this Rose Cottage sign which was a gift from my friend Rita, of Mammabellarte .  She designs and creates a wonderful selection of signs in every shape, size and saying.
A must have for everyone!

Happy Wednesday!
