We have a porch! :)

As many of you know, a truck crashed into our house, last November. It took out our porch and pushed our bay window in about 6 inches.

I had taken a picture of the porch, earlier that day...to show you all my climbing rose (Bleu Magenta) and the arch I put there, now that it was getting so big!

A few hours later, the arch was knocked over by the porch moving about a foot...and it just missed the rose by an inch or two.

So, here's the before and after pictures, back in November.

Well, our contractor was VERY careful putting on the new porch...and here's a few pictures. It looks beautiful :)

Here's one of the barn kitties, up on the new porch!

The rose is still fine and I put the arch back this afternoon...bent up, but still supporting my little rose. I did wire the arch to the porch, for a little added support, but this is my version of Arc de'Triomphe! LOL
