Well…the weather here in Ohio seems to be back to normal.
Even though I loved those wacky high temps,
I didn’t want to skip over spring.
A few changes on my front porch to welcome the warm weather.
New navy chevron pillow covers.
My Welcome/Bienvenue linen pillow covers stayed
and I brought back out the green cushions.
I covered a lampshade with the same flax linen
I used for the pillow covers.
The lantern was a birthday gift from my good friend, Nancy.
I think it’s perfect out here.
No porch photo shoot would be complete
without a picture of my cute assistant.
I am happy with this look…at least for now!
Newbie Party Reunion at Debbiedoo’s
P.S.
Here is the first post I ever linked to a party.
That party was Debbie’s Newbie party.
I didn’t know how to properly link in my post,
so there’s a URL address instead of text.
You know what they say…
You’ve come a long way baby!
Those of us who cut our blogging teeth at Debbie’s party
are grateful for her patience and encouragement.
She was always there with a fun comment,
no matter how bad the post.
Thanks, Debbie.
We love you.

It's perfect for spring! Do you take your pillow in every night? Just wondering how you keep them clean?
It looks wonderful Ann. I love the chevron pillows.
I am ready to work on our back porch. We are surprising Gabi with a trip to the lake, over her Spring break, for a couple of days. I will wait until we return to begin getting it ready.
Of course, while we are at the lake, I will work on the Spring deck. Hoping for a better trip than the last one, in Feb. Wow! what a return trip home.:-)
You porch is clean, inviting, saavy, practical, perfect with its surroundings and well done, Ann!
It just screams "come, sit with me and the assistant a while, sip on sometehing wonderful and let's catch up while watching the flowers grow!"
Your pillows are wonderful. Still have a watchful desirous eye on that Garden one, I think of it often, haha.
Thanks for the Debbie Dos first post share- that is so cute. She is the best, is she not?
Your porch looks just perfect. It is still rather warm here 65 but was 85 not the right temps for Michigan either, but isn't it nice to be able to enjoy your porch so early in the season. I have been reading on mine.
Love your spring front porch! Looks so inviting !
Oh my, I'd never leave. ;)
And your assistant will love the tags I'm working on. Coming up soon.
Much love!
What a beautiful porch….love those big pillow and of course, the assistant is perfect!!
What a gorgeous spot. Makes me want a lovely book and a few cups of tea C:
Very beautiful Ann, it is perfect for the warmer season. Love the dog.
At least for now,…that cracks me up. I love the navy Chevron and of course Kelly looks amazing.
Your porch is lovely. I really love your navy chevron pillows. So inviting.
Your porch always looks so pretty! I know you will enjoy using this summer.
Hi Ann,
Your porch look so fresh and inviting. Would love to come and sit a spell. I guess I'll have to wait until it warms up again. :-)
Thanks for stopping by,

Your front porch looks so nice Ann. Love the cushions and the beautiful wicker rockers. Of course, your assistant is pretty cute too. It's a lot colder here too and snow is forecasted for tonight. :( I'm longing for summer. Hugs, Pamela
I have always loved your porch and it looks so pretty right now! It is so welcoming!
Love that chevron pattern on the pillows. I could read on that porch for a long while.
That looks like such a comfy porch. Love how crisp and bright it looks for Spring. Love the chevron pillows, too! xo Diana
Hello my friend,
Your front porch looks very welcoming, how fun for anyone who visits you during warm weather days. I love the lamp and the lantern. Very pretty!
Hugs, Cindy
I think your assistant is far from cute. More like stunning. :)
Your porch looks wonderful. I have been working, cleaning my screen porch. It get's so dirty over the winter I have mopped it 3 times and still dirty. I guess it will be worth it when I can finally use it. I have a party Sunday night, and hope we can set out there. Richard from My Old Historic House.
Ann your porch always looks great!! Love the pillows!
I love everything you've done with your front porch, Ann! It looks so welcoming and relaxed, just perfect. I'd love to give your assistant a hug!
XO,
Jane
Very inviting, love the pillows, and does your assistant work for anyone else?
Love your front porch! I did a post on my porches this week too. I love my sweet time out on the porch.
Your porch looks so welcoming and CLEAN! Love those chevron pillows. I need to take everything off our porch and do some major cleaning. I remember seeing your first post you linked at Debbie's newbie party. I'm surprised that I didn't comment then.
Hi Ann,
I love the colors that you have chosen for the cushions. Your porch looks lovely and inviting.
hugs

I love your porch! Those chairs look so comfy and inviting.Cute assistant you have there.
Cute geometric print, Ann. Like the contrast between the solid green and the navy. The porch is looking good. I hope to start work on our patio soon. I've got to finish the mulch project first. Did I mention the backyard will take about 15 yards?! LOL My arms are sore from the front yard. :-)
Ann,
Your porch is gorgeous and your pillows, as always, are truly outstanding! I'm really digging the navy & green color combo these days too.
And your trusty assistant is very handsome and alert. My assistant, on the other hand, is snoring by my side …
