I’m afraid I have a bad cold, so today’s porch is a repeat from August 2012.
“Typical farmhouse, spring housecleaning, homemade quilts and bedding in sun. Coffee County, Alabama.” Photos taken April 1939 by Marion Post Wolcott.

hope you feel better soon, C.
Oh, me too. I have been coughing since we got back from Istanbul. Next plane trip I will get out the Purell more often.
And I hope you and your family (feathery members included) are staying warm and well this week!
I love this!! How wonderful to imagine having so many quilts –and such an awesome house!
The sandy (?) yard is interesting. I looked up Coffee County and it’s in the south of the state, near the Florida panhandle — disappointingly named for a general, not the blessed drink.
I like all the cans — I guess all her plant cuttings — lined up along the porch.
Ugh…you and me both…what a way to start the new year! I’ve been doing some handstitching snuggled under a quilt!
I hope you feel better. I finally mostly stopped coughing today.
