    I love seeing Sud’s sweet little fluffy face. I am his biggest fan! The porch is as heavenly as I could imagine!

    • Hey Evis! Suds Bunny is happy you are his biggest fan! I swear I could live on that porch and we pretty much do. BUT, we sat under the Oaks this afternoon and watched the little birds blue take baths, listened to the Jays and Mr. Tanager and the Chickadeedees and Titmousers and Nuthatches. Watched some rain clouds threaten to sprinkle, but nada. Hope all is great on your mountain top!

    • Hi Katie! I am doing good. We had some bumps along the road at Under the Oaks but I am coming around. You enjoy this lovely autumn season too! You take care too!

      • Life is bumpy. Hope it helps to know that we all have that in common. Had some of my own “hiccups” recently. Still getting over some residual effects…mostly because I was blindsided. But like you, I’m making my way back to normalcy.

        We’re all in this together, girlfriend…we just keep on truckin’… :)

        …a comfy porch is a nice place to watch the world go by… :)

        • You are a sweetie Hugmamma! Hope your “hiccups” are gone and you are feeling great!

  5. Hi Pix! It’s so good to see you and Suds today! Love your porch setting. How is Izzy the Busy doing? Happy Fall to you and your hubby! Hasn’t it been wonderful?

    October 10, 2011 at 12:46 pm

    • Hi Cheryl! Nice to see you! Suds is happy to have some blog time. We love the porch, it really is my comfort place. Izzy isn’t with us. It was a sad time. I will send you an email. Happy Fall to you and your Hubby too! It has been gorgeous. We sat under the Oaks until it was time for dinner tonight and didn’t want to come in!

    It looks very inviting. I’d love to sit awhile and catch up with Suds. Good to see you!

    October 10, 2011 at 12:49 pm

    • Hi Deb! You know how I feel about a porch :) I would love for you to come and sit a bit and catch up with the Suds! Do we have a baby yet? I will have to check your blog!!! Let me know……

      October 10, 2011 at 7:03 pm

  7. Your porch is beautiful…and SO country-comfy-looking. I like your welcome sign…and Suds Bunny, too, of course! =)

    October 10, 2011 at 1:47 pm

    • Good Evening Little Things! And Suds Bunny, too, of course! We live on the porch, it really is my comfortable safe place. I NEED a porch! Nice to see you and thanks for stopping by!

      October 10, 2011 at 7:05 pm

  8. That looks so comfy! Great shot!

    October 10, 2011 at 3:04 pm

    • Thanks Nancy! It makes me happy on the porch. No worries there and I can follow my bliss :)

      October 10, 2011 at 7:07 pm

  9. The porch looks wonderful..perfect place for coffee and a good book!

    October 10, 2011 at 3:16 pm

  10. OHhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I absolutely love your porch….I have a deck that I love but I so want a porch :)

    October 10, 2011 at 7:56 pm

    • I gotta have a porch! It is all about comfort :) And a Good MissouREE foggy morning to you!

      October 11, 2011 at 6:41 am

  11. I love your porch, it looks so cozy and welcoming. I love seeing Suds again!

    October 10, 2011 at 9:02 pm

    • We live on the porch! I may have mentioned that before :) I am glad you are happy to see Suds again, he was called to service again, you know for comfort. He is a very good stuffie.

      October 11, 2011 at 5:30 am

  12. I’ve missed you *and* Suds! Love the header, and I’ll take one of those porches to go, please :) I’ll bet you’ve been enjoying our wonderful Fall weather too. Right now we are getting a nice soft rain. Music to my ears!

    October 10, 2011 at 9:30 pm

    • Hi Tammy! Had a bit of a bumpy summer at Under the Oaks but things are looking better. Suds was brought out for comfort. So I have decided to try once again at blogging. Once a week for the photo challenges. We will see if I perservere :) Nice to see you! WE ARE having a beautiful Fall aren’t we? I am so happy you are seeing some rain!

      October 11, 2011 at 5:56 am

  13. What a relaxing, comfortable looking porch!
    I’ve never met Suds Bunny. It’s so nice to meet him (her).
    Those are some big pumpkins in your header! It would take a very long time to make them into jack-o-lanterns.

    October 10, 2011 at 11:53 pm

    • Good Morning Theresa! Suds Bunny has been around a long time. My Mom gave him to me the Easter before she passed away. 1987. She loved Easter and all the big holidays. He had been living in a huge Tupperware container in the basement with a bunch of other stuffies. When our Country Cat passed away in January of 2009, CH went to the basement and brought him up to comfort me. So, he was called to action again recently.

      I think those pumpkins are legendary in this bit of MissouREE. They are from the Pumpkin Festival in Hartsburg. The picture was shot after the Festival a couple of years ago. I couldn’t even think about picking one up, I would need to roll one on a dolly!

      I gotta have a porch!

      October 11, 2011 at 5:45 am

  14. Good morning!
    I just found your blog through your comment at Farmers Daughter. Let me say that your photos have won me over! I will most definitely be a regular visitor. Love your porch and your kitty,especially!

    October 12, 2011 at 6:06 am

    • Good Morning to you too Dianna! Funny! I just read your post this morning via email subscription. I have been following you a very long time :) Sundae hooked me in and your peaceful voice I hear in your writing. And of course I love your pictures and your sense of funny. Have to have funny in my life.

      October 12, 2011 at 6:23 am

  15. A very comfortable and exceptionally tidy porch!
    At first I wasn’t sure who Suds was, but the comments helped me out.

    October 12, 2011 at 9:49 am

    • Hello Isobel! Thank you for the visit :) The Porch isn’t always that tidy! Suds has been around a long time and he can be a real comfort. Nothing like a 60 year old woman with a stuffie but what can I say?

      October 12, 2011 at 6:37 pm

  16. Pix, I have missed you and Suds, oh and Country husband too! The porch looks so warm and cozy, a perfect place to enjoy a tall glass of sweet tea or maybe a lovely glass of wine. Sending greetings from Maine, Julie.

    October 12, 2011 at 6:45 pm

    • Hi Julie! I have been MIA for most of the summer. A break from the computer. I will be visiting you soon and trying to catch up a little. Suds is happy to get some blog time again. Thanks for visiting today! I have been thinking about you and the girls and Winslow. See you in comments :) CH said to tell you Hello, he is watching the St. Louis Cardinals trying to beat the Brewers!

      October 12, 2011 at 10:07 pm

  17. I want that porch!

    October 13, 2011 at 1:54 pm

    • I wanted it too when we bought the house 6 years ago so we had it added to the west end of the house. I can’t live without a porch. Thank you for visiting here, I will be visiting you soon :)

      October 14, 2011 at 10:28 am

      • Rumbly Cottage I also found your comment in spam. Bad on WordPress twice!

        October 14, 2011 at 10:31 am

  18. That porch is fabulous – it looks so inviting and comfortable!

    October 13, 2011 at 3:55 pm

    • Megan thank you for visiting my blog! As I mentioned at your blog, we spend all our free time on The Porch. I enjoyed my visit to your blog and will return to do some reading.

      October 14, 2011 at 10:25 am

  19. I agree as much as I’ve ever agreed with anything;
    it is OK to be happy.

    October 14, 2011 at 10:11 pm

    • Awwww Susan I am so happy to see you! I am glad you agree about the happiness. I have a hard time allowing myself to be happy but I am working on it! You make me happy :) Sorry I have been quiet lately but I am getting back in comment mode. See you at your blog!

      October 15, 2011 at 6:57 am

  20. What a wonderful spot. I could be very comfortable there. Love the welcome to the porch sign too. I wonder if they make a welcome to the patio sign? We spend a lot of evenings out there when weather permits.

    October 15, 2011 at 3:20 pm

    • I don’t know that I have seen a welcome to the patio sign, but I think it would be very cute and patios are special places of comfort too.

      October 16, 2011 at 6:52 am

  21. What a fabulous place that must be to sit and have a cup of coffee or tea. Love that wire bird!

    November 23, 2011 at 4:30 pm

    • We love “the Porch” and pretty much spend all our time out there watching the birds. The wire bird was a fun find, I can and do stuff him with things like little wrapped packages for Christmas :) I relaly think all we need is “the porch” and a bathroom!

      November 24, 2011 at 10:44 am

Just say "hey"! Say more if you want, that's good too :)
