Really cute aimee, and a very timely distraction. I have a lot of babies too and I think that's often the most exciting, to watch them grow up and see those first blooms, and see which are doing well and are the most beautiful. I'm also looking forward to your next spring's bloom. Ingrid

Thanks for the information regarding the Coleman heater John. I was thinking that they should have some kind of adapter or something to be able to change it to a bigger propane bottle. Those little 16 oz ones just keep you going half way through the night. LOL and who wants to get up and go change one out when it's below freezing outside? Not this little OLD LADY! It got down to 25 here last night HDD and I didn't see any snow flurries thank goodness. When these old country roads get snow and ice on them they are very hard to travel on. Lot's of farmers end up in the ditches and have to get their tractors to pull themselves out with. I'm glad we didn't get any snow. (big smile) Happy Gardening Marian

I'm so glad to see Jazz in one of these Fall posts of yours...I was wondering why he wasn't helping out this year! ;-) All your bunnies, rabbits & whippets are just so amazing in your decor...I love how you tie 'animals' into each holiday season. That corner shelf w/the diff bunnies in motion is wonderful! & having your whippet 'watching' them! Love the corner table where you used a quilt square for the linens ~~ relaxing bunnies look happy there, too! Everything is beautiful, PM...enjoy the season now for awhile ... & then you'll just need to add some 'turkeys' for Thanksgiving decor! ~~hugs, Jeanne ...& as far as being creative, why change out what you created so beautiful before!!! You rock, girl!

Jen, I'm just now seeing this thread and LOVE the changes you've made!!! They seem to go perfectly with your style and look so darn pretty! I think your DH's hot pink choice for the table was prefect. You've inspired me to take some chances with my own too sedate porch. Questions: ~ Did you use a primer coat first on your wicker? I have no idea myself, but I do remember painting a white wicker chair dark green once, and it just seemed to absorb the paint! Like yours, it took several cans to get it covered. I wonder if I should prime my wood table first before painting it? ~ Did you use a sealant on it afterwards? ~ Are you planning on painting the coffee table base? If so, what color? Anyhoo, I think your porch reno was a huge success and can't wait to see it with that (fantastic!) rug when it arrives. Keep the pics coming! Lynn
