My Front Porch

I love a big front porch! My rainbow view from yesterday was off my back deck, but I really do enjoy my porch. Nick hung his flags as soon as we moved in, then he felt at home. Those rocking chairs were a gift from my mom for my front porch at our Georgia house. Nick talks about replacing them because they are breaking in places but I just can't. We have great neighbors here. The whole neighborhood is friendly. The lady on one side told me on our second day that she meant to bring over a pan of lasagna on our first night but didn't get a chance...it's the thought that counts anyway...then across the street is an elderly couple who brought over some homemade English muffin bread and told me how their son married the girl who lived in our house! What a great story...sadly they are moving away already (not because of us lol) but they are downsizing as it is just them now. The other day a golf cart full of people drove by and yelled "hi new neighbors" at us...it really is probably the friendliest neighborhood we've ever lived in! I hope we have many happy years here :)

  1. A fine large porch with rocking chairs, lemonade and a sunset. Is there anything better?

  4. I will never have a porch like this, and this makes me a bit sad and quite envious...

    A front porch were my dream too... that's so cozy.
    Having good neighbors is very valuable.
    Wish you good luck and happiness.

    (we live here in isolation, because we are too poor for our well-off neighbors, but well, that's life - )
