In 2009…
There were 173 posts published, at Back Porch Musings, during 2009.
My 400th post was published during the year.
During Back Porch Musings’ first year, beginning in March 2007, 128 posts were published.
I’m surprised I had as many posts as I did, in 2009, since my plan was to spend less time on the computer.
The mosaics, I’ve added to this post, are made of some of the images seen on the Back Porch, during last year.
I hope to continue Back Porch Musings, through 2010. We’ll see how things go, along the way.
Thanks to those of you who knew me before Back Porch Musings and to others I’ve met since beginning this little journal. Thank you for continuing to visit and keep in touch. Your support and loyalty are very much appreciated.
Thank you Mary, of Dear Little Red House, for being a very gracious hostess each Mosaic Monday.
During 2010, I will continue presenting my own photography, within posts. If I use images belonging to others, I will make note of it. I don’t anticipate using work, other than my own.
Due to recent events I’ve chosen to disable anonymous comments. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

Simply beautiful. A feast for the eyes.
As I have only been following your blog for several months, it was wonderful to see some of your photography from the past.
Happy new year and here's to an enriching year of blogging.

Pat,
Thank you (and J and Molly!) for the wonderful blog. Through your pictures and adventures I have come to love your "neck of the woods". You are a wonderful lady and one of those special people that I wish I knew in "real life".
I so look forward to your writings in 2010.
Your photos are always so beautiful! I love seeing them.
Your decorating ideas are always so inspiring. Keep up the great work.
Blessings,
Donna

I've enjoyed my visits here ... your mosaics are a beautiful way to present your photos
Your photos are just wonderful. I have been enjoying your blog for a couple of months. Thank you for sharing them.
You always take the most beautiful shots, Pat. I love them all and glad to have stumbled into you when I started blogging....Christie
What wonderful eye candy you provide for us with each post.. You are a true blessing... it's snowing here darling. It is so fluffy and pretty.. from the inside out..lol.. hugs ~lynne~
I have always enjoyed your photos and hearing about our trips.
I had to activate comment moderation, also due to some recent activity. :(
Have a great week!
G'morn ~ Luscious p\mosaics, one again. You capture the soul of each picture ... simply wonderful enjoyment visiting you. Look forward to many more wonderful moments with you.
Have a beautiful day.

I know you use your own photos and the choice to eliminate anonymous comments... girl, if you have been getting snotty comments, it is only because they are totally and completely jealous of this beautiful blog. I love it! I hope you continue to post as well!
Beautiful photos and please, please continue to blog.
Before I started blogging in November of last year I was an anonymous commenter but I always signed by name. It's much easier now that I am blogging because there were many blogs out there that wouldn't allow any anonymous comments and now I can leave comments. But I agree the decision is the blogger's to make. I really enjoy your blog and look forward to 2010.

Hi Pat,
I enjoy each and everyone of your posts. Your photography is stunning and I adore your decorating style. I look forward to all of your new posts this year.
You have an amazing sense of design, symmetry, color, content. I so enjoy your blog!
your pictures are so vivid and bright. Truly eye candy.
I also omitted ann comments along time ago. Right during the election. I don't blog to have my feeling hurt by others so hurtful opiniated, they fail to realize I may have an opinion of my own. Hasn't been a problem at all and no more hurt feelings.
Happy New Year,
Shanda
Love your mosaics, Pat. Hope you have a Happy and Healthy 2010! Cold out there, stay warm :)
I hope you DO continue in 2010. I love visiting you and seeing all your beautiful pictures!
Oh what lovely photos Pat....looking forward to many more in 2010 and isn't Mary a doll, love her ???
Sorry you have had trouble with annon. I hope in 2010 people will be nicer !! They give us annons a bad name...although I always sign my name :)
How do you do the 3D collages ?? They look fantastic...can it be done on Picasa ??? I have done some collages there for the family blog...
Happy New Year,
Kathy :)

As usual, your photographs are so lovely! I always enjoy them, Pat.
I'm sorry you've had a problem. Hopefully it can be rectified quickly.
All the best in 2010!

We so appreciate YOU, Pat! Your photography has gotten better and better. I don't know if you can possibly get any better, as I think you've likely reached the zenith in that category! You've taught me so much. About blogging, life, and photography. Know that your blog is very much adored.

Beautiful, as always... so glad I found you this year! Hope 2010 is grand!
With so many design magazines closing their doors this past year Pat, it has, for me, been a delight to discover such beautiful and inspiring blogs such as yours and I think everyone who visits here really appreciates the enormous time and effort that goes into creating each and every post. I look forward to seeing many more in 2010. Your mosaic compilation for 2009 showcases your many, many talents. Happy New Year, Kathy.
Oh Pat, what beautiful mosaics of your beautiful photos. I enjoyed looking back at all of them. You have such talents for decorating and for photographing. I sure hope you will be blogging through 2010! I would miss you terribly if you didn't. Wishing you and yours a wonderful year. laurie
Hi Sweet Pat-- It is always so nice to see your lovely work.

You are such an inspiration -- please continue.
Stop by if you get a chance--

Pat,
I love your blog, the photos are always so awesome and your design and decor are such inspiration! I had to shut off the anomynous comments too because of spam and some very strange ones! Happy New Year and please keep blogging!
Cindy
Absolutely beautiful! Always enjoy your posts!
these are all such amazing pictures of your year. what a fun way to reflect on everything.
Beautiful mosaics! You are such a great decorator, I have "known" you for several years, back when Great Impressions was a big thing. I loved your photos back then, too. Hugs, Cindy S.
What a delightful visual feast here on your blog! Your photographs and mosaics are MARVELOUS ... so varied and creative. Love the profile of your black lab in the center of the first ... I see Molly looking like this often. Your home is lovely, your floral photos stunning and that old orange truck is memorable indeed. I'm happy to have encountered you in this virtual world and hope you continue to share for a long time. Happy Mosaic Monday! My mosaic is of Neighborhood Shadows at Sacred Ruminations this week.
Hugs and blessings,
What a nice collection of images!
Your mosaics are absolutely delightful. I've attempted a few here and there but they certainly don't compare to yours.
It's cold today so I'm staying indoors and fueling my tummy/tank. Oh, the pounds the pounds the pounds. But they do keep us warmer in the winter, eh? LOL

Good morning Pat, I have been trying to get over to say hello but my quilt project is a time thing. However, I am happy to be fulfilling my challenge. Thank you for your encouragement.
We are so cold here in the mountains and from what I am reading the whole country is freezing. It was 21 in Miami yesterday. Unheard of!!!
Stay warm by the fire and make soup. It nurtures your soul and your body. BIG smile.
Hugs, Jeanne
