Front Porch Appeal With Thankful Hearts

Issue #61 November 2014

November is the time to catch your breath (last chance before Christmas and other December holidays) and give thanks for all that you have. Or, "be grateful for what you don't want and don't have" which is one of my favorite phrases.

As Mary and I look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, we also enjoy celebrating Veteran's Day as well. As a veteran, I and my family know the sacrifices our men and women who serve our country make each and every day.

Even though technology makes communication lots easier, you still miss the hugs and of course, mom's Thanksgiving turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving to each of you!

We thank our reader, Renee, for sharing her beautiful porch.

Honor Our Veterans

Flying the flag on Veteran's Day is one small way in which we can honor those who serve. It is a small act but one that expresses gratitude for those who answer the call. And, if you didn't know already, porches love flags.

We make it easy to honor a veteran. You can download our free Veteran's Day card and send it to someone you know to honor him or her on this special day.

Fall Porch Decorating In North Carolina

Front porches (back porches and screen porches too) enjoy November and love to be decorated and enjoyed. Greet your family and friends with an inviting front porch.

A freshly painted front door, colorful fall cushions, pumpkins, corn stalks, and cornucopias never go out of style.

We like how they integrated traditional autumn decorations into a pleasing display for family and friends. It has a real country look and feel.

This color coordinated fall display caught our attention. We like the little dog too.

What a beautiful wooden front door and stone steps; both of which make for a wonderful front porch.
