Step By Step

A simple man believes anything, but a prudent man gives thought to his steps.
Old Testament Proverbs chapter 14 verse 15 NIV
A friend was getting rid of this adorable shabby pink bench. How could I resist that? I think it makes a perfect "flirting bench" for our "romantic porch"! It's so tiny that you would surely need to sit closely!...and those precious footprints...well, they're just another whimsical touch from one who fills our home with love and laughter! Oh yeah, and the notches in the old tongue and groove fir wood flooring, came from a squirrel who apparently thought it would be a yummy place to sharpen his two front teeth...(or is it four ?)...anyway he notched the flooring in no time flat!
Have a restful day today!
Love, Rachel

    How could someone want to get rid of that cute bench? Lucky for you though! I like your painted porch and the notching from the squirrel just adds to the character!
    Have a great Sunday!

    Your flirting bench looks cute on your front porch. Now that's a painted poorch floor with flair! I had no idea that squirrels had such strong teeth.

    We have an 1870's with a wrap around porch...nothing like it in the world...yours is a charmer, to be sure

    ....I am in Proverbs 14 and 15 all this week, I love to read it each month for it has 31 chapters, as you well know

    I love the little feet on your porch steps. Just too cute! And, the flirting bench - watch out... the squirrel might return with a girlfriend! Hugs, Patti

Thank you so much for taking time to leave a comment. It is sorta like a sweet visit on the porch. In this busy world with so many places to go and things to do, I value the time you spend here with me.
