The big day is finally here.
This, my friends, is Rhondi's third year for hosting her now famous Porch Party. I know we are all in the throes of the summer heat, but you will receive so many warm welcomes as you make the rounds visiting everyone's porch.
Thank you, Rhondi. You are a warm and welcoming hostess, and I appreciate your hospitality and your friendship.
Is that you coming now? I am so happy to see you.
Here is Beatrice to welcome you.
Sit anywhere you like. Make yourself at home.
There are charming little birds to make you smile.
And, big pots of lush green ivy on either side of the front door.
Go ahead and have a seat.
I've got some fresh lemonade inside - pink, of course.
We'll have a glass to cool us as we chat.
I know you have lots of others to visit.
Thank you for visiting my home.
