I just started planting my pansy pots and putting the rest of my chair cushions out.
The veranda is deep enuf that they can stay out even in rain and not get wet!!
The neighbours on both sides are not really very close..about the same on
either side. I am going to stain the floor of the porch a blue/grey this summer.
The front door I am painting a bright yellow...or a deep red... still undecided,
but yellow is winning out!
