Welcome to my Front Porch here in Central Kentucky!
This is where I usually have my coffee everyday. The braided rugs were done by my Mom.
This is my Ornamental Potato Plant. I'm tellin you, this thing demands attention AND it pouts! If I don't water it, every day, every single day... it wilts and then the next day some leaves will die off... I've named it Brat! Ok, when it was a baby, it only cost $2.50 so I guess I'll put up with it's attitude. :)
Have you ever done this? Snipped off your WAY too long petunia's and just stuck them in water?
I did that this year and these guys literally grow in the water... I guess I could have shoved them in dirt after they rooted, but ehhhh no. The only fall back to this is that they are a little dwarfed now, but they produce blooms all the time.
This picture says a thousand words... or just one word. LAZY!
My pink begonia's seem to like this cooler weather at night. Then again, they are under the overhang of the porch. But they are exploding lately. I'll buy more of these next year for sure.
THIS guy. We have a major problem in our relationship. I knock his humungous-ginormous web down every single day, and he thinks he's so clever and re webs his home every night. If I weren't so scared of him, I'd kill him when he's out late at night or early in the morning... but he hides from me in the day... probably laughing at me. Gotta love the country sometimes... ugh!
This is the first time I've been able to grow any kind of Ivy. I took the advice from my Sister... she said to ignore it and it'll grow. Ok. I've ignored real good... even ignored windexing the table! And there she is... growing like a weed. hehehe
View from the East... huge yard. Wanna come mow? Or prune? I'll make coffee!
This is the back of the house. That little bird bath can hold a dozen birds... and yes, they all get in it and bath around mid day, every day. I'll try and get a shot of their community bath house someday...
I hope you've enjoyed the little tour of my Country View. In about another month, this place is going to be booming with Fall Colors!
I really need to get rid of the pink flowers and get some fall mums and punkins and gourds.
Blessings, Jean
