Hello Saint707–I don’t have the same view in all four seasons as the Blizzicane Nemo wintry porch view that was posted this morning, but found these from June 2011–same porch, same rose bushes. As I am not planning to venture further than my porch this afternoon, I thought we may all benefit from a glimpse today of spring yet to come.

Kim…Thank you…. I really needed that…<3
Finding flowers around the house to photograph in case more of the same tomorrow–crazy drifts out there!
Oh wow! It is even prettier than I anticipated! What great pics to post on a snowy day (especially for all of you in the northeast). It is a reminder of things to come. I can see a montage of snowy/summer pics juxtaposed in a frame. Thanks Kim for sharing. I am amazed by the Gloucester flowers.
You are welcome saint707–thanks for the idea to look for summer porch photos!
beautiful photos, how lovely to look at
Hope you are not doing any crazy walks near the water Donna!!!
That just made me feel so hopeful. Great pics at a perfect time.
Thank you Bill–it won’t be long until spring has sprung–we can look at all the snow and know it creates a protective blanket for the perennials and roses!
Thanks, Kim, for such a beautiful photo. I love all four seasons but in mid February those roses are a beautiful reminder of what’s ahead!
Thanks Jeanne–I love all the seasons too–and by the end of February I am Really looking forward to spring!
Beautiful roses and I also love your door and porch light fixture. Very different.
Many thanks Kathy–the door i found at a selvage yard in Boston, but have since seen it on several homes that were built around 1920. The porch light is a vintage lucky find and is called a Moravian star–and it is identical to the one my grandparents had on their porch. There are reproductions available.
