I don't normally post on Saturday...but thought I should just thank all those who are coming by for a first-time visit...thanks to the folks over at Blogger. I received a tip the other night...that my blog was featured on the Blogger home page as "Blog of Note" for the day. I had no idea what a blog of note might be...or why mine might possibly have made the list...and so I did a little research. The Blogger Team selects one 'interesting and blogworthy' blog to feature every day...and what the criteria for that process may include, I have no idea. But I am most humbled...over here in my little corner of the world...to find my blog on their list!
What I do know is that Blogger has sent many people to my front porch. Sorry if I seemed a little unprepared...I just had no idea you were coming. So welcome to my little world...and thanks for taking the time to visit.
Congrats : )!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, Judy. You're the kind of hostess who makes everyone feel welcome whether you're expecting company or not. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is that!! Your blog is so worthy of this honor, I love it!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Judy.
:)
Your porch is absolutely lovely! Don't mind if I make myself comfy and read for a while. Don't worry, I don't expect to be constantly entertained.
ReplyDelete(Seriously, just doing what you were doing has gotten you noticed, so don't change a thing :-)
That front porch can hold a crowd, so if we all budge over there's room for everyone!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!...and have fun this weekend!
Judy. .you are the place we who love you before blogger noticed you .. .love to come. You are always a treat to sit with and have a bit of coffee on your porch. Your writing is honest and true to who you are. Sometimes we laugh ..sometimes we have felt sad with you. . and sometimes we just like to know what is going on in your world.. .and we love you just the way you are. .
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again.

ReplyDeleteEveryone should have a front porch to spend time with friends.
ReplyDeleteMy first time here too. A very peaceful looking place to be here on your porch. One of my best friends and I have an imaginary porch we spend time on every day. We share stories, laughter, and good times in our big, floral, over stuffed chairs while the dogs waite on us. Quite lovely!
Congratulations on your blog being chosen! :)

ReplyDeleteI Liked your porch.. nice view :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful iris pics. I found your blog because of a blogroll on another blog, maybe The Pioneer Woman, earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteIndeed I am stepping quickly across your porch, following a little road sign from blogger! But how lovely to go for a Sunday stroll down the secular main road and find a detour of faith! American porches- that's an architectural culture that we so need to embrace in my little Northern land! Even a roof to keep off the rain- why don't we do that? Cheerio- enjoy your porch!
ReplyDeletenice !
