I love a front porch. Especially those with big rocking chairs and places to put my feet up. The porch to the left, is ours. The cushions are new and the railing is the perfect distance from the seat. This is where I come to sit and read--lately books I've already read--and just listen to the sounds of the neighborhood. The kids playing the next street over. Someone's dog barking and causing a chorus of barks throughout the yards. Wind in the trees. It's all there.
When we were looking for houses that was my requirement--a porch. One you could make an extension of your home. One you'd be happy to sit on for hours. Steven's requirement was a garage. Luckily, we found a house with both. He gets a place for the Green Booger (an '85 Chevy truck that will definitely earn a post of its own one of these days) and I get a place for my rocking chairs.
Now, if only I could drink sweet tea, this scene would be perfect. :)
Maybe you could have some sugar free lemonade??? I need a front porch :( Hopefully someday soon I'll have a finished back porch where I can relax, read a book & watch my kid play (and also eat dinner on with some friends with an awesome front porch)!
ReplyDeleteLove the cushions. Thinking I might need to get different ones for ours b/c they are little "too" cushy. When you sit in our rocking chairs your arms do not rest on the arm rest. LOL But they are sooo purty! Now you just need some ferns and you will have the tradional front porch. =)
