From across the world, today's outdoor home visit shows that there is a strong feeling of community around this particular part of the home. While the insides are more private, the outdoors are our public face:
"Hi dear AT team! I am reading you every day from Bulgaria. I liked very much the Outdoor Home initiative, and would like to take part.
My balcony is not in NYC, but is in a very grey capital of Bulgaria i.e. Sofia. I am not sure if I can take part, but as you see I am trying..."

Very nice! You live in a beautiful setting!
Can you recommend a good Bulgarian wine? I heard Melnik is good but it's hard to find here.

Hello Rossitca!
Thank you for inviting us to your home, all the way from Bulgaria!
I love how interntional AT is becoming. : )
Your flowers are lovely, and I'm sure you've just inspired many ATers to visit your country (or your adopted home if you're an an expat) one day.
Nice little BBQ grill there. Is that the typical design there?

even before decorating, your balcony has beautiful "bones" (the tile work, the design of the railing and those cool glass lightbulb covers -- i think that's what they are -- on the balcony's posts). your flowers are lovely. thank you for sharing.

Rossitca your balcony is lovely - gorgeous flowers! :) And despite how international the site is, some things (like Ikea!) always transcend geographical divisions - I have the same little blue candle lantern in my back yard in Yorkshire!

Thank you guys for all the comments :-) I am verry happy to have my flowers at AT and to read your comments.
boomer, actually I don't like very much the Melnik wine.
There is a sort of wine Mavrud which is typically Bulgarian. I think the Bulgarian red wines are better than the white ones.
tin_angel, although in bulgaria there is no IKEA still, we the bulgarians go shopping in Thessaloniki(Greece). I like this candle lantern very much :-)(the table is also from IKEA)
gekko this little BBQ is not very typical design. I bought it from a German Shopping Super Markets which are in Bulgaria. It is not very convinient but is enough for some pair of stakes :) And unfortunately in Bulgaria BBQ on the balcony, is not so usual as in US or in Germany (I have livde there before)
Thank you abby for the good words!!
