SUMMER, THE PLACE TO BE!! CAN'T WAIT

SUMMERTIME ON THE PORCH


THIS SUMMER, ESPECIALLY, WITH TODAY'S GAS PRICES AS HIGH AS THEY ARE, THE GOOD LIFE MAY BE AS CLOSE AS YOUR PORCH OR SUNROOM. YOU CAN TREAT THESE SPACES AS A SUMMER PLACE TO READ, WRITE, ENTERTAIN, ANSWER THE MAIL,

 SIP LEMONADE OR DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! OUTFITTED WITH WICKER OR COMFORTABLE FURNITURE A FEW BENCHES AND SIDE TABLES YOU'RE READY TO GO!

TIPS FOR YOUR PORCH:  * KEEP IT CASUAL AND COMFORTABLE.



* HAVE BLANKETS AND THROWS ON HAND WHEN THOSE NIGHTS OF STARGAZING GET CHILLY.

* IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SEATING, ADD FLOOR
PILLOWS. * A RADIO.

* A BUFFET OR SMALL CUPBOARD TO STORE FOOD AND DRINKS SO YOU WON'T HAVE To RUN IN AND OUT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE A LITTLE PEPSI MACHINE IN MY SUNROOM.

* LARGE TRAYS TO CARRY FOOD AND BARBECUE TO THE PORCH AND TO EAT OFF OF.

* A COAT OF PAINT AND PLENTY OF PLANTS WILL GIVE THIS AREA A FEELING OF AN OUTDOOR OASIS. 

* IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE SMELL OF CITRONELLA THERE ARE OTHER SCENTS MIXED IN SO YOU WON'T SMELL THE CITRONELLA SUCH AS:



WILD BERRY, GREEN HERB, SUNNY BLOOMS AND GARDEN SPICE FROM YANKEE CANDLE.
* REMEMBER TO BRING IN ANYTHING THAT WILL GET RUINED IF IT GETS WET.



AND REMEMBER, NO PORCH OR SUNROOM IS COMPLETE

WITHOUT A ROCKING CHAIR OR PORCH SWING!
