Such gloriousness in our ordinariness! We are doing a series on the views from the Backdoor steps of the Fellowship of the Farmy. If you are a reader you are part of the Fellowship. This is the third Fellowship Backdoor page! We are on a roll. If you have only just popped in check out Page One (my view) and Page Two and Page Three . You will be amazed, we are from all over the place! Join in! Come on Roger! Come on Sawson! All are welcome.
OK into my poor beleagured time machine, like the Tardus it is much bigger once you get inside, you will all fit, its OK! Deep breaths. Off we go!
New Zealand, up North of Auckland, lives Valerie, her blog is such a treat, as I have said before I adore hanging out with intelligent people. She grew up in England but has made New Zealand her home. This is her view.
My friend from Washington Chris does not have a blog but is a fulltime member of The Fellowship. And outside the back door in Washington State is her thyme lawn. I am deeply envious.
Juliet Batten is an author living in Auckland. Beautiful woman. Wonderful writer. This is her view. Wow.
(Sigh) I miss home now. We had better go somewhere else.
Jaz has a gorgeous view over her garden at Octoberfarm. She is in the US though I am not exactly sure where, except that she is cold there today too! She has a dog who looks like a combed sheep, Hairy would be so jealous!
Next: Australia again. New South Wales actually. This is Joy she has two Golden Retrievers and such a view.
Leanne lives in New Zealand. She has a farm stay and is surrounded in the most stunning cats and farm animals. Hence the cats view.
Now I am fairly sure that Natalia from hot cheap and easy is somewhere close to New York but do correct me if I am wrong. All these mini bios come out of my unreliable brain! Below is the view from her back door. So sweet.
The Blonde Gardener is in Arkansas and I am entranced. What beauty.
Home on a river. Unbelievable. This is Ecuador. If you have time to pop over you will be taken on a tour of the birdlife outside those back windows.
Our darling Lynda has found her very own little farmlet so she is submitting a photo of her Back Door View to BE! I am so thrilled for Lynda. Look at the view she will have shortly!
Isn’t that wonderful. OK, I know I have forgotton someone.
Kathryn! There you are I have found you. Kathryn is an artist and a writer and lives a life surrounded in music. It all shows in her view. Look at that bell!
That is all for today but I would love to do another page. In fact as long as you send them in I shall show them! Colonialist (thank you for the tip on creeping text, now all is well!) – I have lost your shot but I loved it, so I will go on the hunt today and let me know where you live is it somewhere in Africa? and Janet from NZ I simply cannot find yours, though I know you gave it to me and I put it down somewhere but I need it, Wellington on a wet day is perfect! Equus from Chicago is working on getting the shot of her alley to me. No hurry darling. Now who else! Soph and Stuff you are on my list. But I just know there was someone else. I have time for another page if you still want to show us the view from your Back Doorstep. It is never too late – send in your pictures my darlinks. Remember if they come email make them nice biggish files.
Good morning. Today I am going to take photographs of the Shush Sisters for Spike! Charlotte is feeling much neglected. She needs to move into her own place soon. What was that term they used when they sent the Queen into a darkened room with her Attendants for about a month or something before they gave birth? Was it the Lying In?
I was thinking that if you wanted to start your own View from the Back Door page with your own readers – I would love that. I am sure your readers would rise to the challenge too. If you link it back to me then I can visit with the Fellowship. And our world will get even bigger!
It is dawning damp and cool, but these are great days for gardening. I am planting another tree today too, for someone many of you know, probably one of the oldest members of the Fellowship (in years.. maybe neck and neck with the Old Codger – I must check!) I will show you tomorrow.
Have a lovely day.
Your friend celi
It is

This is so much fun! I am indeed in New York…on Long Island, which is half Middle Atlantic and half New England, and a very busy place for man and beast. We cram a lot of suburbs and beach and woods and farms into a small area! Thanks for these spectacular images from aroudn the world!
Good morning Celi; WOW FANTASTIC VIEWS its just amazing how other people call the views they have chosen ordinary more like OUTSTANDING HAVE FUN AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY MIKE
hi c! these views are awesome! it’s funny how you can get used to your own but be blown away by what others look at! joyce
how can one not have a good day when it starts with an easy visit with you and a round-the world intimate tour from the bosom of many homes! good morning world from ecuador! i am sitting on the back deck and enjoying that serene river scene while ibis and egrets and frigates take to the skies.
absolutely stunning, thank you so much for introducing us to your Back Deck and that view.. c
How cool is that? I’m absolutely living this series. I’m doing one tomorrow, hope you can check it out and put it in your lovely series.
Ii will eva, it can go on the next page i make.. wonderful. c
I am just stunned by how much beauty there is. Breathtaking. And such diversity. We are lucky people. And I totally agree with jaz…it’s true. You forget how different all these corners of the planet are. Makes me travel itch start itching.
I’m hoping you’ll post one from your lovely place in France, Charlotte!
Check out Page Two, Charlotte’s Italian view is the first one! Lovely too! But wait is there another back door? well we look forward to that one too! c
More wonderful pictures! Thank you.
Wonderful pictures! Thank you for sharing.
I so wish I had a camera! I love this. Thank you. I’m on a ranch on Texas, which I love, and i want to share all the wonder and beauty that I see every day. So hold on, I’ll see if I can find the means. Meanwhile, everyone is loudly asking for breakfast, so I’m off!
Welcome Virginia and we would love to see what you see.. no rush, we’ll be here.. c
Hi, Virginia, what part of TX is home? I’m up north in Denton and, as a transplant 4 years ago from the Northwest, find all views–back-porch or otherwise–of Texas a revelation. 🙂 I’ll look for yours someday if you get (or borrow) a camera.
Cheers,
Kathryn
I’ll have to post one from Chicago and another from my view in Hawaii! Sounds fun!
That would be superb, where are you now, take a shot of wherever you are now, we would love to see it! c
this is such a wonderful blog…I absolutely love looking at people’s gardens…and they are so beautiful…when I get back from my holidays at the end of June I think I shall have a try and I will then have my camera, so I shall take a pic of my garden….. It is so exciting… I am breathless with the beauty of where people live..it sort of widens the horizon…
So happy that you are not knee deep in water,,,, lots of love
What a treat for me today to see the earth in infinite variety. Thank you, Fellowship for the beauty of your views. And thank you Celie for what has turned out to be a stunning success of an idea.
Lying-in was (in my mother’s day) what was called the 6 weeks or so of semi-isolation and bed rest following “confinement” (ie delivery!) Give Charlotte the story to make her feel special. And Gi
Ah, well it must be another word I am looking for, maybe we should ask about! c
My reply got truncated (I spent the afternoon and early evening holding ice-packs to my cheek – spontaneous bleeding for the third time this week). What I really wanted was a hug, and what I didn’t finish saying was give Charlotte a hug from me!
Love the views! I am going to try to remember to take a shot today and sent it to you… You are such a wonderful blogging friend, bringing us all together. Have a wonderful day!
Looking froward to your picture too!! c
Oh, wait for me please!! 😉
I’ll wait! excellent.. c
There’s going to be more? Ooooh, I can hardly wait! So many lovely friends you have, and all living in such wonderful places in the world. I’m so glad you thought of this. I have already made some new friends from your first Back Porch postings! Thank you Celi!
