The Back Porch

 (Me and my more off than on again book)

 Although we love our front porch, we do have a back porch.  More like a side porch.  The front faces east, while the other one faces south.  Sort of a boring post, but Hubby gave me a bloody nose this morning, so I'm hurtin'.
He lost is grip on the head board, and his head landed right on my nose (when we went to kiss me before leaving for work).  The results?  A headache and bloody nose.

 Here is the "back" porch....





 Guest visitor, ha ha!

The umbrella must come down at night.  A good swift wind will rip it right up and over the roof.    

It's our other "hangout."  A welcome place for a get together, and a nice place to sit in the shade and breeze for part of the day.

How nice you have the two porches! Different options for different parts of the day. And lots of seating for all who might want to congregate. We have just the south facing deck on our place. It gets sun for only about 2-3 hours a day (the woods on one side and a beautiful, big, twin birch tree on the other) so it's a nice place in the summer. If the bugs aren't biting!

Bet your hubby felt awful about giving you the bloody nose this morning. And all in an effort to be sweet and loving!

Mama Pea, having the front and back porch has been wonderful for summer/fall gatherings here. Yes, Hubby felt awful. He texted me after he went to work and said, "now you know what it really feels to be a boxer," ha ha ha! It still hurts.

Oh my gosh you're worse than me! Every time I read a new post, you've hurt yourself again. Poor you, I hope it feels better soon. Your furniture is so nice!! I LOVE the porch swing. Mine tore last summer after a good decade + of use and I can't wait to get another one! Though it wouldn't fit on my tiny lop-sided porch, we'll wait to get one until we have our permanent home.

Sorry to hear about your injury. Boy! That musta been some KISS. LOL
Your back "porch" (we'd call it a patio down south) looks lovely, and shaded. We have a nice little side porch too, but it and the front porch which is little more than a covered concrete "stoop" are in full sun most of the day, and that's too brutal for nice sitting down south, so we have several sitting areas out under the trees.
Prayers everyone's back from a safe holiday and is having a great week.
God bless.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
