Front Porch Appeal - Daffodils, Dogwoods and PorchesIssue #56 April 2014April is in full bloom - except perhaps for our porch friends in northern states who have just experienced a spring snowstorm. Here in middle Tennessee the daffodils have broken ground and the dogwoods have blossomed.Better yet, it is perfect porch sitting time which means you can start spending more time outdoors. Rest assured, for some of you, the snow will melt. If you are anything like Mary and I, you probably have your sights set on spring and summer projects. Perhaps it is updating your landscaping, screening in your porch (that's on our list), or adding new decor or furniture to your front porch or portico.
