Where we live, many of the students already go back to school on August 1st.How about where you live? Dave and I remember when summer vacation lasted until the day after Labor Day. These are the "dog days of summer" when sweet tea and lemon icebox cookies taste extra delicious - especially when enjoying the front porch swing. We hope you are charmed by the sight of picket fences because we have some to show you. And while summer is still going strong, please enjoy the summer porch decorating ideas we have for you in this edition, too. Marlene's Summertime Porch

What's Inside Our July 2012 EditionWhat Makes Us Love Picket Fences?There's something nostalgic about a picket fence and that is one reason why I think so many of us love them. Whether it's the classic white fence enclosing a wild flower garden or the pretty fence that guests pass through when they come to visit, a picket fence says "welcome" and "all is well in the world".Even if you don't need or want a fence around your front yard, you can use sections of picket fences to embellish your front porch or at some charming appeal to the entrance of your driveway.
