No Matter Large or Small

there is something so welcoming, comforting, inviting, friendly and unpretentious
when the entry of a home has containers of flowers, everything is in order,
...like they know you are arriving and they want you to be un-intimidated.

you know?

like each one of these...
it doesn't matter if they are large or small
 each of these homeowners have achieved this welcoming look.

    Marsha you picked some very warm and welcoming homes to feature. Nothing says welcome to me like a puppy lounging on the front porch!

    What beautiful entances to some wonderful homes Marsha. Our house is south facing so, pots dry out very quickly so we have two bay trees gaurding our front door !!
    Hope that you are well and not sufering too much with high temperatures. We are having an awful, wet Summer and I just hope that it gets better for the Olympics.
    Sorry to have been absent ..... am still waiting for everything from my old computer to be put onto my new one !! XXXX

    How I wish my entrance looked like any one of these, at present it is overgrown and in dire need of attention, send in the gardeners....if I had one, hang on I do...it's ME!! My home looks like nobody loves it and we most certainly do. Ah well I can come visit you Marsha and listen to the cool music and dream I'm wearing those lovely rings, gorgeous!

    Hope you are well dear Marsha I was SO glad to hear from you yesterday.

    xx Love xx Jane

Please know how much I value your comments. I read every single one and do hope you will take the time to leave your thoughts. I think InstaGram with the Emojis have taken a lot away from blogging, but I love IG too.
