    • It is a quiet place to sit and look at everything brown around us. We need rain!

    I like it, I was wondering whio the first person to do a sepia pic would be..:-))

    • Thank you Ed for Sunday Stills! It kept me thinking all week and I took pictures of lots of brown things. It kept the camera in my hands which was good! I went with this because everything feels brown around here right now. It is HOT and everything is crispy… :) I hope next week we get some rain, not likely, and I feel all green!

    I LOVE that entryway! It is gorgeous in sepia too! Looks like a good place to sit and visit!

    June 24, 2012 at 7:10 am

  9. I bet everyone who approaches your front door slows their walking perceptibly… longing to linger on that porch… !! (Sorry it’s so hot! We’re cold enough here that we had the woodstove fired up yesterday! ??)

    • Good Morning Laurel! You had a fire?! Sounds nice. People hardly ever make it to the front door. They head for the seating Under the Oaks!

      June 25, 2012 at 7:04 am

      • I can imagine that your front door hinges get rusty from dis-use! Oh how difficult a decision to move back to the city after being under the oaks…. !! Waaah!

        Yes, Pix, a fire! Weird damn late-June weather. Apparently, the newsies are calling this month June-uary. I am happy to be spared the heat for as long as possible. Just can’t take it! And this from someone who lived in Tucson for 9 years!

        St. Louis? Hmmm… I have a great-great-something uncle who was a rum-runner on the Mississippi out of St. Louis! >:-D

        • The stuff we learn blogging. I don’t know if I will be able to leave the Tiny Ten. But we can’t take care of this small acreage forever. St. Louis or Springfield~sooner or later. I hear ya on the heat and the ding dang humidity!

          June 25, 2012 at 9:47 am

        • Stay cool. More heat and humidity for you this week, I heard you say. yikes!

          June 25, 2012 at 9:49 am

  10. Everything is brown when edited with sepia! Creative spin on the challenge.

  12. Great job and I love what you did with the shot. It looks very antique and inviting.

    • Thank you for your good words! I enjoyed my visit to your blog and see that you have Julie from Dog Trot on your list of blogs, she is a sweetie. I signed up for an email subscription with you~moruralrambles would be me… :)

  13. What a welcoming entrance! Love the use of the stone, and that is a great flag! Hope you get some rain, we got quite a bit one evening this week.

    June 24, 2012 at 2:38 pm

  14. Very pretty. Hoping you’ll have rain soon…..

    June 24, 2012 at 5:25 pm

    • Thanks Dianna. It is going to be 100 for the next few days. We need rain so bad. Poor Oaks. I feel so bad for anything that has to live outside. Kitties too.

      June 25, 2012 at 5:58 am

  15. How lovely . . . and inviting.

    June 24, 2012 at 7:28 pm

    • It is a great place to sit and watch and listen to the birds but it is too HOT right now! Thanks for your visit Cecelia… :)

      June 25, 2012 at 5:59 am

  16. Love your porch, Pix! Looks like a nice place to sit and relax. When it’s about 20 degrees cooler, that is!! I don’t think our a/c shut off all day!

    June 24, 2012 at 8:58 pm

    • We weren’t home yesterday but I am sure the a/c got a workout and it was nothing compared to what is ahead of us. I don’t think we will see porch sittin’ weather till October! Hope you had a wonderful date night with your Hubby. Also hope you made a decision on your shingle color…. :D

      June 25, 2012 at 7:13 am

  17. I can just feel the ambiance here

    June 24, 2012 at 9:03 pm

    • We spend some time on the porch listening to the birds but our favorite sitting place is Under the Oaks!

      June 25, 2012 at 7:14 am
