I've shown you sections of my friend, Rose's amazing screened-in back porch located in Florida here and here and here, and you've clamored for more. Since I am one to please, here's some more Blues from that fun place to visit. This is the last I have, so look closely. Notice the cushions, pillows, lamp trim, table top, and rug.
The same table, taken from a distance so that you can enjoy the total package. Notice those Blue shutters in the background.
Here's another corner of the porch. See the Blue bowls, napkins, and chair seats.
There's color everywhere, and of course I see Blues. Why, even the ducks are dressed with touches of Blue.
Rose has told me that she's read all of your comments and is so delighted that she may just start blogging! How 'bout that; a convert!
Thanks, Rose, for letting me share your whimsical porch with Blogland!

Sally, she has the absolute cutest porch! I love that yellow striped table with the pink, the blue bowls, and the cute ducks!
Blogger is acting a little goofy. I got kicked off earlier. Le's see if it does it again.
Happy Blue Monday!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Sally, your friend's porch is so sweet....just delightful. I love the 'lightness' of the design. So pretty!!
Barb
Sally..you are so amazing to keep up with everything in the middle of moving! I am impressed!
I love the porch... so much personality! Have a great week!
Susan
Somehow I think I would have known this was shot in Florida even if I didn't know you lived there. there's something about the scene that makes the telling unnecessary.
Nice shooting.
Such pretty things they have on their porch. Thank you and them for sharing all this neat stuff.
Happy Blue Monday!
Charlotte
Sally, I reallt do want that darling table for my lakehouse.
Glad you found an apartment, I know that is one thing off your list.
Happy Blue Monday!
Barbara, Purple Goat Lady
Sally, thanks yet again for your efforts in making this event possible. I love you for it. It's no way to spend your Sunday evening. Your post is lovely. I wouldn't have guessed Florida. I was leaning toward the Virgin Islands. Wherever or wherever, it is peaceful and serene and that's what counts.
I can tell from your porch Rose that you would fit right in with bloggers! So come on and join us!! Sally thank you so much for your hosting even in the midst of a busy time in finding a place to live and moving! Blessings on you!
I LOVE that table! how fun!
great porch...so cheerful!
This is such whimsical decorating.. charming and I bet it is quite relaxing... letting the creative spirit out of everyone who visits. So nice.
what a great and wonderful porch, so lovely
Happy Blue Monday
Lots of luv,
Ita
Hope your moving details are all falling into place! Love Rose's porch and all the fun things she has there!
We don not have that kind of porch as you do in USA - and I wish I had a lot of monye so I could build one, it been nice to look around.

That is one lovely, cozy place. I love that the chairs are rocking chairs :D!
Happy blue Monday :)

Hey, Sally! Thanks for linking me in.
Should your friend Rose start worrying about stalkers?....
oh its like a doll house! how pretty. I rather like the chair coverings at the little table, and the table setting too!
What a neat porch! I especially like the table and the little ducks.
Well hands down the table is a winner. I love it. Nice little space for my early morning peace :-)
Hi Sally! I joined your party today!
Thanks for hosting, and Happy Blue Monday,
Monica.
I think I need some of those blue bowls she's got on the table.... I love them!

Ayayay...a pretty "carousel-ish" side-table! The substance of my dreams at night! :)
Please tell Rose to hurry and join us. Anyone with a porch like that has a lot to share with us!
Very pretty blues! Have a lovely Blue Monday, Sally.
Blessings,
Sandi
Hi...Did I use incorrect link back to Blue Monday?
Here is the link I use in my blog
http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/search/label/Blue%20Monday
I love your porch Sally. Especially the table corner ! So cozy and cute.
Everything looks so pretty and cheery!
Not sure why Mr. Linky still thinks I'm sharing my copper pot rack...he's a rascal!
Lisa
I've really enjoyed your posts about Roses porch... I plan on snagging a few of her ideas for my own porch!
have a beautiful blue monday!
Good Morning Sally! Happy Blue Monday! Love your friends porch, what pretty shades of blue here.
I'm getting my post up a little late today. We went out on the boat yesterday and I was too tired to post last night. LOL Have a great week!
Bless you, Shirl

Hi Sally, I too love Roses's porch. How lucky to be able to share her fun and pretty porch. You will miss her when you move. sigh. The hardest part of moving is leaving friends behind.
We are on the road today and my visiting will have to be tonight. Our luck of having a net connection has been mostly good. We will be in Grand Junction, CO. A new adventure.
Until next time,
Hugs...Jeanne
Be sure and not work too hard packing. Rest a bit.
I'm glad for more views of this cute room.
she really has a beautiful porch!!!
OOO, I want a porch like this one. It is just precious and you are precious for sharing it with us.
Happy Blues...
xo bj
What a cute and happy setting. Amazing you can blog and move at the same time Sally - I'm impressed.
Happy Twirls
I love this porch. I especially like the blue shutters. I have white shutters and I'm thinking, they might look really nice painted blue!
Thanks for fixing my link Sally!
Lisa
Oh Rose I do hope you start blogging, I think you will like it as much as we do. We would love to have you join us.
Sally your friend Rose has a beautiful porch. I just love all of the colors. I really like those ducks. They look sooo cute all dressed up in their blues and purples.
Hi Sally, your friend's porch is really inspiring, there is just so much you can take away from it, and add to your own porch, Happy Blue Monday to you!!
my favorite is the ducks
I really love that table. The table setting is very pretty too.
Cindy
Hello Most Smiling Organized Packing Moving One! Whew! This is the cutest little porch of your friends. Just love that little table!
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Sally, I don't know if it is my computer or Mr. Linky but I added my name early this morning, then, it was gone..then it came up as a different post..can you remove #42?
43 is the correct link to my blue post...
I am having a devil of a time with getting YOUR site to upload right on MY computer...I'm sure it is on my end, tho.
Thanks, dear one...
What a pretty porch! I would love to curl up with a good book and a glass of lemonaide there. Love the new picture of the waterlily at the top of your blog. It is breathtaking!
What a lovely porch! Fun blue post. Thanks for sharing.
thanks, sally...sorry 'bout that..
She has a wonderful flare for decorating. I'd love to have a porch like that.
This is my first visit into Blue Monday, it looks like lot's of fun, I will spend time tonight going through all the links.
I LOVE what she's done!
Thank you for hosting this, MB
Good afternoon Sally, I love Rose,s porch... looks so cool and refreshing.Have a great day.Baba
Looking for Mr. Linky. I can't see him. I tried refreshing to no avail. He's being a baaaaaaaaaad boy, hiding all of the names of participants. ;-)
I will try and visit the people who left you comments, but I have to do that later.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Beautiful blues once again! I think it's great you've influenced a friend towards the blogging world!
Mr. L is behaving badly as usual. There must be a better way. Your post makes me think of sherbet. Mmmm. Here is my link.

Hi Sally,
Love all those blues! I just love the whole porch! I would love to have a screened in porch! Mine is posted at my place, Sherrie's Stuff.
http://sherrie-plummer.blogspot.com/2009/06/blue-monday_08.html Have a great day!!
Sherrie
Hi Sally, Your 'blue' pictures are great. Thanks Rose again for allowing you to show off her gorgeous home. Oh how I love that screened in porch.
How are you today? Worn out I'm sure.
Hugs,
Betsy
Sally... I'm a BAD blogger these days... trying to keep with everyone... trying to paint.. trying to line up posts... nursing a convalescing from surgery teen... my head is swirling... I apologize for NOT commenting... but I do have a surprise coming your way... I love your porch sooooo much... I've sketched it to be painted... it just might be showing up next Blue Monday... ENJOY your day!
Fifi
I love the little ducks and the blue shutters, but let's face it! I love everything. I want the whole porch!!!
Itis
Sally,
Rose's porch is the cutest I have ever seen!
Good pictures. Come on in Rose. Blogging is fun and will keep you from going "street rat crazy."
I've sent you an email Sally, I didn't not leave a comment intentionally, just the comment page wouldn't come up and then I had to work and when I came home I was still having problems. It seems to be working now! ;-)
Lovely pictures
I love those chairs and the table with teh blue cups on it. It is a very nice group to sit and have a cup of coffe.
Hi Sally,
You wandered to my blog and said you could not find my blue post! Very weird. Must be Mr Linky being bad again! I did put the right link in Mr Linky, but now he is not appearing at all! (I always check it!)
So here is the link again!
Wintry Blues at Rosebud
Cute cute! Thanks for the welcome today!
i could have sworn I left a comment here this morning. You are so good to notice that I had forgotten. Well, what I thought I had written this morning is how much I love that round table with the lamp on it. I would want to just sit on that porch all afternoon sipping tea and eating cookies.
Thank you for sharing more Blue Monday pictures...I love those little ducks!
have a lovely day
Judi
Rose has the cutest porch ever! I just love it. I love the whimsical touches and all of the color. If I had a space, I'd "borrow" Roses decorating ideas.
The table and the duck are so cute!! Sorry I didn't comment sooner.....it has been a crazy day.
I want a porch so badly...but it ain't happening on my little ranch house. This porch is just beautiful and quite inviting.
take care,
Dawn
Hi Sally
Happy Blue Monday
Wow I have been waiting all day to

I love visiting your friend Rose .
She has the happiest decorating theme around.
Thank you to your friend Rose and to you for sharing all the lovely photos .
It is all so much fun.
Happy packing
Hugs
Oh Sally I just love your friends sunroom...it's all just darling...thanks for sharing once again with us...May you have a great day my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
What a delightful place to share a cuppa with friends. Wonder if she needs someone to help her keep the dust off those wonderful tables. I volunteer.
I am truly enjoying participating in Blue Monday with you and friends. Thanks for prompting me to come back and leave a comment. Great week to you Sally.
I did it! I posted. How could I not...My favorite color is blue as well. Only makes sense!
Love the shots of the quaint decor, makes me want to set there and read a novel while drinking tea...
Ok I can see I am link stoopid again today... to many blog links running through my mouse in one day here is the link to my blue stuffs
Hi Sally, I'm sorry I'm so late... I worked until after seven tonight....I finally got supper made & cleaned-up and my post made! Gees, you'd think that I would have had my priorities straight, huh? ~ Robyn
Now that's got to be one of the most adorable porches I've ever seen!! :-) Laura
Hi Sally, I'm sorry I didn't leave a comment. I usually do it when I put my link in but I posted close to midnight last night so it's entirely possible I forgot. I've been gone all day today so I'll be seeing everyone's blue posts on Tuesday this week!
Your friend has the cutest porch! What wouldn't we all give to have a sweet place like that to sip a lemonade in the summer!
Happy Blue Monday!
Robin
Hi Sally
