~A CHRISTMAS PORCH..

...well, sort of.  I'm trying but every year when I try to fix up this porch..I have to wonder what the builders were thinking when they designed a front porch with the bathroom window right next to the front door.

 You hear the door bell and THEY hear the toilet flush!

My dear friend and neighbor across the street never fails to shout "ARE YOU IN THE BATHROOM, MONA??   How does she know I am in there?  The flippin' lights on!  

I always shout back "NO!  I'M IN THE KITCHEN!"  

:)  (A little bathroom humor, you don't mind do you?)

 I took a garland and turned it into a wreath.  I kinda like it.  I do!

I am resigned to the fact that I will never have one of those beautiful front doors..and the older I get the less it matters.

Our security door was PH's choice and I mean, after all, he DOES live here too!  :)

 This very old wagon belongs to daughter Mary and even though it is falling apart..I hang onto it for her.

It needs some repairs..but like me, it's being held together with bailing wire and a bit of glue that keeps falling apart anyway.  This wagon and I have history!

 Mele's perch on the back of the sofa is all covered with a Christmas afghan instead of her little pink patchwork quilt.  The new cushions are not very "Christmasy" but it's okay.  In Spring they will be perfect!

I think...like when you get all dressed up to go out..they say to remove one accessory?  My porch is like that.

I think one accessory has to go.  I think my sweet tall snowman has to go.  It's that bathroom window and the cords that are making me crazy.  (Oops..I see one has already slipped out of it's hook.

I am having an electrician install an outdoor outlet before too long.  As in SOON!

So, I think that's about it for the outside.  

  Now for the inside.  (puff  puff!)
I'm on a roll here! :)
Love'n hugs,
