Vintage Tool box and white roses

Hey everyone....I'm anticipating fall with relish...looking at fall decor, thinking of baking and enjoying apple pies, drinking hot apple cider, watching football games with my father. But today was beautiful, enjoying one of the last days of summer and roses blooming, couldn't seem to get enough of this wonderful summer day.

I found an old tool box that usually houses little flower pots...emptied it out and filled with jars of white roses. I love sitting on our back porch, visiting, laughing...remembering funny family stories...these are precious days I'm having with my parents.

They are a little bit vintage...born in the 20's...they honeymooned in Cuba! How funny....that is so foreign to me...they said it was beautiful. My dad is a minister, and he spoke in several churches over there....said the people and the churches were wonderful!

A peaceful porch is what I desire...one where people visit and share their thoughts and precious memories. Do you have a place at home like this? I think it is important to provide this for our family... a sanctuary of sorts....a peaceful habitation....even at our farmhouse....on our porch you can hear the chickens clucking and roosters crowing....sheep bahhing....no quiet here!

I have used old rakes, shutters, tool boxes, wire fencing and loads of perennials to create an outdoor room.... wish you could come by for a visit!

A small chest of drawers from my hubby's grandfather that used to hold tools now holds fall flowers!

Enjoying these parties!
