A Southern Fall Front Porch

by The Everyday Home/Barb Garrett

I am calling this the "Red Door No Apologies Tour." You see, all Southern Front Porches are Ladies. It's true. They each have a personality and some even have a name. My Aunt used to say "Let's go sit out on Gertrude." (I need to name mine still - I am thinking Annabelle) Anyway, she got all dressed up in her Fall finery and she would love if you would come and sit a spell with her.

Go red or go home. :)
