~*Happy First Day Of Summer*~

The first day of summer!! Took a few pictures of my house, my yardwork isn't finished but I thought I'd still share with you. Need to get those trees trimmed (so you can see the house!), it amazes me how much they grow each year...especially my weeping cherry.
The bed with the little fence is being completely re-done. Had my son pull everything but the little tree out over the weekend. I cheated and bought spray paint for the fence...worked out pretty good and so much easier than a brush!! I'm going to drape some grapevine along the top edge and I think plant just a few hosta and blackeyed susans for fall color, some planted pots on the ground and on a little stool will add some color. My sheperds hook is still waiting for my birdhouse in the shed (no place I enter...too many spiders!!) and will go back behind the fence.
I'm planning on moving some of the things from the bed in front of the porch to use in my backyard as I'm doing a new bed around a tree there. My grape cart will actually go into the bed by the weeping cherry. Still need to paint my porch (the only paint on it is what I spilled when I painted the railings, oops!)...I can never make up my mind what shade of gray I want and each year passes as I can't decide!
I painted my front door this weekend too with a color from the Martha Stewart line at Home Depot. It's called Kiln. It's the perfect red, I love it! I have to get my side door done now.
 I think once I get my shutters painted black and some window boxes I'll have the colonial feel I'm looking for.
I have some extra fabric I think I'm going to use to stitch up some pillows for my rockers and swing too...it's all about the comfort. We're porch people and spend a lot of time out there from spring to fall...hence the Kountry Porch Primitives name!!
Still all a work in progress but getting done slowly, if only time and money were no issue.
Hope you all enjoy your first day of summer! Take your shoes off and walk barefoot in the grass, eat some watermelon and go out and catch some fireflies under the moon tonight!!
*Blessings*
