Hot coffee on misty mornings. The rhythmic thump of a rocking chair. White wicker furniture, unhurried weekend brunches, cool shade on sultry afternoons, and conversations that continue long after the sun goes down. The pleasures of porch life are seemingly without end. And, as it has for 11 years, the Out on the Porch Calendar celebrates this special place with 12 months of tranquility and fabulous views. Whether a simple porch adorned with white columns and a matching pair of rockers, a country porch overlooking woods and distant mountains, or a stately porch surveying an expanse of green lawn, each beckons with the promise of peace, renewal, and the singular pleasure of doing nothing at all. Accompanying the photographs are quotes from literature that capture porch life.

Out on the Porch - Calendar for Daydreaming,
By ELIZABETH OLIVA (SUMMIT, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Out on the Porch Calendar 2011 (Calendar)
I have been ordering this calendar for years. No matter the weather here in the North East, a glance at this calendar offers a moment to dream of a lovely day. There is enough room to note appointments, and I love the quotes from current fiction that describe the effects of nature on daily living. I keep a list of the books for future reads.

On alternate years, my daughter and I gift each other with this calendar only. The highest quality photographs are combined with design that is peaceful, contemplative and cheerful all at once. Suits us perfectly.

Gorgeous Calendar,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Out on the Porch Calendar 2011 (Calendar)
Bought this calendar as a gift for my mom for Christmas. Wasn't sure if she would like it, especially because I had no idea what any of the pictures looked like, but it received good reviews so I bought it anyway. And I'm so glad I did! All the photos are awesome. Very serene and great to look at. My mom couldn't be happier and gave the calendar a prominent spot on the wall in her office.
