Product Description

With over one million copies sold, the Out on the Porch calendar is a celebration of the good life. Of ice-cold lemonade on hot summer afternoons. Of the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of a beloved rocker. Of beautiful views and pure, put-up-your feet relaxation. For 2009, kick back on a dozen fantastic porches, porticoes, and verandas (in your imagination, at least). A charmingly rustic terrace in New York's Hudson Valley. A Bahamian porch swathed in green, pink, and yellow. And a sweeping Maine veranda with gorgeous ocean views. Photographs are accompanied by porch quotes from literature, and you can share the tranquility using the twelve full-color postcards included.

From the Back Cover
It’s simple, really: Life is good on the porch. Inspired by the book Out on the Porch, this calendar is a tribute to languid, leisurely porch delights. Like ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer afternoon, the rhythmic thump-thump-thump of a favorite rocker, and pure put-up-you-feet relaxation.
Take in spectacular ocean views from a breezy St. Barth’s porch. A white-washed North Carolina portico is a pretty picture of Southern charm. A sunny screened porch in Maine is perfect for a weekend brunch. Every image—accompanied by a porch quote from great literature—is an invitation to kick back, daydream, and celebrate life’s quiet pleasures.

Customer Reviews

Algonquin didn't learn from last year's mistake
This used to be a wonderful calendar. However, Algonquin redesigned it in 2008, and it became garish, frenetic, and in all other ways, ugly. Unfortunately, a friend who didn't know any better gave me this year's version as a gift, so I can see the publishers opted to not listen to all the complaints posted last year, and have repeated all the same mistakes. It's already in the recycling bin, and I've ordered Willow Creek's "A View From the Porch" as a replacement. Hopefully, my friend won't notice the change, but I simply couldn't stand looking at Algonquin's version every day, particularly when knowing how beautiful their calendar used to be.

09 wall calendar
Fine for a very large size wall calendar. Make sure you have the space to accomodate the size of this item.

My favorite calendar.......
I have to order this calendar every year. The pictures are always outstanding. They make you want to step right in and sit a spell!
