Summertime

Come sit with me on my porch....my dear blogging friends!
Make yourself comfortable while I step inside and pour you an ice cold glass of lemonade
I'll be right back.....

Summertime and the Livin is Easy...

Hat's off to the good old USA!


Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue!!

Sit a Spell....Take your shoes off!


Patriotic Little Perches...

A special place for my feathered friends...


May God continue to Bless the Land that I Love!


I'm so glad you were able to spend a little time with me on this beautiful summer day!

Do come back, my sweet friends!

Blessings,
Carolynn  xoxo

"If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."   II Chronicles 7:14  (NIV)

I absolutely love red, white and blue!
Thank you, Debra, for hosting a "Vintage Patriotic Party"!

Hello sweet Carolynn! I have so missed popping into Chenille cottage these past two weeks. I had problems with internet provision and a smashed computer screen, so was cut off from everything and everyone! But, it is so lovely to get back and find such a wonderful, cheery red, white and blue welcome! Thanks for the lemonade...cheers! We will be getting together with friends on the 4th July for some good food and fellowship, and I'm really looking forward to it! Now, I'm off to take a wander round your lovely blog to see what you've been up to lately! Much love and hugs to you! Tania ♥

Your porch and swing are so charming Carolyn! My husband and I long for a porch and a swing - next to impossible to come by in Los Angeles. Phooey!

Wishing you a very happy 4th!

Marianne said...

Carolynn, what a lovely 4th of July welcome! Everything around your home looks so inviting and cheerful...it all let's my mind wander to a warm summer with pleasant breezes, which is a far cry from here in SE Texas, where the mosquitos think it's heaven and the humidity tangles one up like a pea in a knotted ball of yarn.

Thank you for letting me visit a while. Wishing you blessings for the day,
Marianne
