    She reminds me of Hyacinth Bucket from "Keeping up appearances".

    "It's Bou-quet!"

    It's crêpe, pronounced crep with a short e (like step) and a soupçon of disdain, not crape you American heathens!

    Does anyone remember if she painted some wicker she found for the porch? I feel like maybe she did but the two chairs and the table look nicer than I recall so I wondered if they were a promo gift from a vendor. I wonder if passersby in cars think she's having a yard sale because she's got a lot going on in the front of her house.

    LOL I get irritated with her pronunciations as well...probably because I just find her so damn irritating.

    Her porch and her house are just as cluttered as her mind. Sophia does not believe in zen and calm. It's all about the chaos everywhere.

    I think the furniture on the front is from the same company as the table on the back that had four chairs that all tuck up under the table...I can't remember the brand, they also sent her raised garden beds didn't they?

    I hope they bolt it down to the porch. Even with some potting soil in the boxes, I can see a bad wind storm blowing that onto the neighbors cars.

    Vevor. They did send her something in her backyard. I think it was the table and chairs.

    I think she mentioned a firepit. I don't remember that one.

    She doesn't care about that...it's obvious with all the crap she puts in the front yard. She'll never get rid of those ridiculous goats to spite everyone.

    She needs to read up on Hygge

    LOL....those goats are so ugly. Now, I like a good piece of whimsy to be honest. I wouldn't mind a porch critter just for fun, but those things are just ugly and shaped wrong for my liking.

    There's just too much on the porch. Il y a tout simplement trop de désordre sur le porche.

    Curious if that porch will ever get swept again with all the crap on it and how busy she claims to be. No time for housework when you can pick through trash after all.

    No room for dust to land on the porch itself.
