~I SAID YES...COMPUTER SAID NO...~



I really wanted to post my porch..but..I didn't make it. My computer would not let me download my pictures. Hmm...perhaps the computer ...

...knew something I did not? I tried...all last night..and this morning. I knew...


.....I had to do the post...and then jump over and sign up...but the computer would throw me off every single time. The pictures would begin to download to blogger...


...and then I would find myself...kicked to the curb! I got sick of bounce, bounce, bouncing...over and over...


...and over..but..I would pick myself up...and try once again...until finally...


...my sweet husband called and they will be here in the morning. I was able to stay online for about 30 seconds at a time. Do you think possibly...just possibly that the computer...or blogger, KNEW you all had seen this silly porch and didn't want to see it AGAIN! I sort of think that is probably the case..but...I am SO proud of it. Besides...I have added a few things..like the heart shaped hanging pot holder made of grapevines?


Yes...old as the hills but I spray painted it...put a pretty pot on it and hung it on the blank white wall. I like it and already a tiny little wild finch is checking it out to make her nest in. She wasn't even afraid of me.
I mean there's water...food...a nice family..what more could a little Mommy finch want for?
I'm sorry I didn't make it. As I said. I tried! HARD! I missed the party...but better late than never..right? right?
Then...I was able to go see Rhondi's porch..and darn near...deleted this ..um..porch? :)

Smiles and love,
Mona

  9. Love your porch Mona, it's inviting and beautiful. I'm so lucky to have such a porch myself and so enjoy sitting and reading or just watching the world go by.

    About your photos; think you should check the size because if they're too large (in pixels) Blogger will have a very difficult time uploading.

  10. I had not seen the porch and it is lovely. I hate when anything does not work but especially computer can drive me over the brink.

  13. Beautiful and inviting porch Mona! You work so hard on your house. I wish I had the time and the money to do more with mine. I have a simple deck with a few flowers potted...nothing to write home about or post! Nice job and I hope your computer is not too sick. That's one thing I am grateful for...my husband "The Computer Mechanic" takes care of all of that stuff and everyone elses! Glad I dropped in....been busy with Obie but we are now doing well.:)

  17. I like what I see! Sorry you are having puter problems. I often pray to the puter Gods but lately they do not want to listen to my short temper rantings:)

  18. I'm thinking your porch looks like a great place to porch sit with some iced tea.

  19. That is so frustrating, but good for you for being persistent. Your porch is so pretty. I clicked the pictures so I could get a closer look. I love the container that you have the asparagus fern in. So pretty. I hope you are able to spend lots of time enjoying your porch this summer.
