Yikes! Guess I have been away from here for quite a stretch! I had no clue there was a problem with this thread! Glad to see it's ok. My pages seem to go in backwards order, but I did find the most recent posts.
Just wanted to let anyone who's interested, that Grantchester, Season 10, starts tomorrow night on PBS...at least on my local PBS station.
You all take care, and I hope to be back more often!
Thanks for the Grantchester info! I just checked my local PBS schedule, and Season 10 starts up here on the 25th. 😀 …..A few weeks ago on PBS I stumbled upon the first episode of ~ A French Village ~ , and I am hooked! It’s not a new series (2009- 2017), it’s French with subtitles, and seems to have great reviews, but I had never heard of it. ….just wanted to share this in case other PBS stations are offering it. (I enjoy these hidden gems too - like ~ Professor T~. and ~Seaside Hotel~).
Hello! Great to see you! Everyone is welcome here. I’m a “newbie” myself and found this cozy place just a few months ago in the same manner that you did!
I just started posting and was quickly embraced by other members of this forum. They are kind and genuine people.
@catwoman500 , glad you missed the 'drama'. I know I was in the middle of posting when I got "Access Denied" and the Front Porch was gone. But it's back, and all is good now.
@smoothfox , welcome. 👋 No sign up or registration necessary. Just bop on in and make yourself comfortable..
Hope this shows up clear enough for you to see the sparkle. Yesterday morning after the night's rain, I saw this web on my coneflowers. It looked so cool. Today the web was complete, but since it hadn't rained (for a change) there was no sparkle. You can't see "Charlotte," but she was right there in the middle of the web.
Ah, “Charlotte”….I remember my 8 year old self crying while reading the description of her passing, but ultimately the book had a joyous ending. Because of Charlotte, Wilbur lived a long and contented life with Charlotte’s children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren keeping him company, ❤️
As Wilbur so aptly put it, “the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.”
Thought I'd share my bony patriotic kitties. 🐈🇺🇲 They dwell at the end of the driveways always ready to greet passers-by with holiday greetings (whatever holiday that may be). 😁
what a great idea. My Halloween skeleton cats and kittens have been “resting” in the basement, but I am going to bring a few upstairs, and have them don some festive patriotic apparel. 🐈 💥
Lost power last night at 5:30 as storms rolled through. Still don't have any. First test of the generator I had put in in January. Loving the peace of mind! 😻
Hello Porchers hope you are all well. @SummerOnTheWay1 You know I love to read and watch PBS so always check out your various entertainment threads🙂. Still reading Magic Mountain, believe it or not, reading 2-3 pages per day. No time for TV, not even Max Miller's youtube channel on these long summer days. No sauna even.
Hubby's knee is very slowly healing, not making the progress he should. He is conscientious about PT and home exercises plus swimming at the old folks' gym we both go to. He still needs pain meds, hurts 24/7.
Dogs and chickens are well, and now I have more chores with the chickens. They dont retire for the night till 8:30 and I am dead on my feet by then. We have banana peppers, okra and tomatoes and if it stops raining it will be hard to keep them going. Planted asparagus and garlic too but they will take a few seasons to mature.
Had my perm today and look a bit like an older version of Little Orphan Annie. Quite a bit cooler than having that shoulder length hair on my neck. Now you know all that is going on in my world!!
