THE PORCH IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR THE 2008 SEASON!
YIPPEE!!
We put the finishing touches on the porch over the weekend, and it has been christened with the first beer (Saranac Pale Ale), and the first 'meal'. MY favorite meal at that... BREAKFAST! Homemade french toast with Fresh Upstate NY Maple Syrup (a colleague of DH's makes it) and fresh bacon (another colleague of DH's raises cows & pigs - we just got our yearly 1/4 pig!). Sorry - I know that probably turns some of your stomachs, but I like knowing how the meat we do eat is raised and that there are no chemicals used - and it is so!...So!!... SO!!! MUCH BETTER than junk from the supermarket!! ( You'd never guess from reading this that DH works with a bunch of Engineering Geeks would you?!! ) We have an ever-evolving 'warm weather/seaside' theme to our porch, which tends to vary from SouthWest Sandy Desert to Rocky Coastal Maine to Tropical Bahamas. Looking at our porch this summer, it kind of looks like some bizarro version of JIMMY BUFFET and Old CAPE COD!! Go figure.
Maine Lobster trap buoy and cactus greet you...
The 'coconut heads' are all snuggled amongst the Wisteria..
the beachy table, Haeger, wicker and a 'crawdaddy'...
Cancun sand dollar encrusted 'pot-o-seeds' and more cactus...
'Jingle shells' from The Cape, dangling from a piece of driftwood from Lake Ontario to make a most relaxing 'chime' - accompanied by a pottery 'sun' from the islands...
It must be 'all good'... even the neighborhood cat, Mia, seems to approve!!

That's a pretty sweet setup; the disparate elements really come together well. That cat looks pretty comfortable, though. Are you sure she knows she's a "neighborhood" cat. She might think she's yours. :-)
YEA! Coconut heads!!!!
