A Bad Case of Neglect....

Janie's poor little porch has been so neglected......

Since the Christmas decorations came down (like the third week of January!), the porch has been bare; the planter box filled with brown plants; the dust piling up.  Sad, so sad.....


For the first time since - well, since NEVER - there isn't a wreath anywhere in sight to greet visitors and spruce up the porch.  Just a nail sticking out of the wall where the wreath should be....


I told you it was SAD!

Well, things are about to change.  I've got a bad case of Spring Fever.....to be followed by a case of Hay Fever, I'm sure, very soon.  I'm about ready to grab my broom (and, no, it's not the one I ride around on....) and sweep away the dust and cobwebs.


Then I'm going to pull on my gardening gloves and tend to that planter box.  I'm thinking some cheerful yellow pansies would be "just right" in there!



As for a wreath, I definitely have a little project in mind.  I plan on recycling an old grapevine wreath that has seen better days.  I just have to go digging around in the cellar for that crate of leftover silk flowers and greenery.  Oh, and I need to stop by Hobby Lobby, where ribbon and Easter eggs are on sale this week....

Stay tuned.....

  2. It will be a few more weeks yet before we sweep cobwebs from the porch. We are still shoveling snow! Hope your husband is healing well.
