especially good on a rainy morning in July.

Frayed edges are an important part of anyone's story.

This one continues on from here.

    sounds good to me, dogs always make a porch a home.

    Echoing in to say that it sounds like a perfect morning. I also have a hanky like the one you are using. Wishing you a sun filled weekend.

    I've spent some mornings that way! Not that I want it to, but I'm starting to wonder if we will get any hot days this summer...

    K (sl2), 'twas and thank you

    More magic than I know what to do with sometimes, India...

    No sun at all, Jeannie, we are having April in July. No matter, since it's the perfect weather for porch sitting with dogs!

    Deb, I don't think we are going to get a summer at all. I've just put the strings up on the bean trellis and found myself apologizing to all the (little) plants for their lack of warmth. geez.

    Me too, Penny B, thank you!
