PORCH LOVE

I have a new porch on the front of my house!

I can't wait for warm spring mornings in the near future when I will be sitting out on the porch, drinking delicious coffee and watching the grandbabies playing on the porch or in the yard. In my mind I can hear the birds singing, the peepers peeping, the babies yelling and laughing, and I am enjoying every minute of it.

My kids gave me a new porch swing for Christmas. I have always always always wanted a porch swing but never really thought I would have one. Heck, I didn't have a porch. I had a deck my dad built on right after we moved in and it was fine but it had no roof.

Now I will be sitting in the porch swing, sipping delicious coffee or refreshing iced tea, watching the babies play, listening to the birds sing, looking at the hanging baskets of flowers that I will hang from the porch rafters.

What else do I need on my porch? Well, rocking chairs of course! It wouldn't be a proper front porch without a couple of rocking chairs would it? I can see myself, sitting in a rocking chair, rocking and watching the kids playing, listening to the birds singing, looking at the beautiful flowers and bushes planted around the porch, drinking coffee or iced tea, and just enjoying the wonderful porch.

I think of the rain storms I will sit through on my beautiful new porch. There is nothing more enjoyable to me than sitting under a roof, watching it rain. I can feel the breeze blowing a mist of rain across my skin while I am sitting in my rocker or on the porch swing. It gives me goose bumps just thinking about it.

Oh, the lazy hot days and twilight evenings I will spend on that porch, just relaxing, watching the kids play, the kittens tumbling over each other, hummingbirds buzzing around feeders.

The possibilities are endless!
