Rurality Blog Hop #12 - Front Porch in Mt. Airy

The Gertrude Smith House...Mt. Airy, NC

It's funny, porches remind me of To Kill a Mockingbird and Fried Green Tomatoes...so when I went about looking for a quote to use for a porch, I was really wanting to use something from one or the other and oddly enough, I found this:

"My favorite scene in all of movies is Gregory Peck in 'To Kill A Mockingbird': You see him where he's on the porch, and his face is almost completely obscured. I don't want to see his face."
Mary-Louise Parker

Not quite the porch quote I was looking for but it was said by one of my favorites who played Miss Ruth and she said it about To Kill a Mockingbird...so I had to use it lol

  8. When I was growing up, people didn't have air conditioning (we still don't) and neighbors would come visit and sit on the porch after supper. I do more setting out in the yard until the mosquitoes get bad then it is on to the screened in porch.

  13. Great angle on this shot! Growing up everyone had a porch, and we sat out on our swings or walked up and down the street visiting. Times have changed.
