Backyard jungle HNT
Posted on | April 29, 2009 | 19 Comments
I like our back porch. Being out of sight of the road makes it very useful, as does the plastic roofing above. I can leave items on it for Freecyclers to collect; we keep our recycling bin on there by the back door; and there are gumboots and an ashtray for my brother and a couple of chairs.
There are also steps. There are three of them from the path up to the porch, and the middle one always clonks alarmingly when you step on it. Unlike our front steps, which no one uses, our porch steps are (comparatively) stable – no one’s been flung off them yet!

It’s also a great spot to read (I love finding reading spots!). There is a gate that’s perpetually open, so I lean against the edge of the gate-post and lose myself in another world while mine continues on, sunnily, around me.
It’s even, very occasionally, a spot for making out. Or for one person to sit below the other and have their shoulders rubbed. Or for two people to lean together and enjoy the morning sunshine and their cups of tea together.
It makes me smile.
I’m still having fun with my red nightie photos – Demeter took a lot of great pictures!
Don’t forget to have a look at my favourite HNT’s from last week, featuring Petal and Diana!

Finding great reading spots is one of my things too. Little pockets in which to escape
Also, I agree. You do have a lovely smile.

Apparently you have a particularly useful porch

I like the over exposed effect in your photos.
Happy HNT

Dee,
Just wanted to let you know that I think you are fabulously sexy. You are tagged as such on my site. Thanks for keeping it real for all of the “pretty people” out there. You inspire me.

That sounds so delightful! Makes me want to run outside and find a good spot! I love outside pictures and moments and yours are great!
Happy late HNT!
