Front Porch Sittin'

I'd like to introduce you to our front porch. In the short summer that we get here in Wisconsin this is where we spend all our free time. We start our day with coffee out here in the morning and many times end the day here with friends and family.

It's one of my favorite places in the world. 

People beep and wave all the time when they see us sittin' here. We don't usually know who they are but that doesn't matter. That's what folks do around here.

Sometimes I wonder if they think that's ALL we do......

'Cause where I come from
It's cornbread and chicken
Where I come from a lotta front porch sittin'
Where I come from tryin' to make a livin'
Workin' hard to get to heaven
Where I come from....

  1. So true......I think people who don't live here and can experience that are really missing something special. We feel the same way about our screen porch. I don't think we even use the living room all summer long. btw....sittin' in there drinkin' coffee right now!

  10. I love our front porch but we don't use it like we should. It is so hot outside most of the days/nights and we tend to be busy getting stuff done. I do sometimes block off the steps and sit out with Andrew and the dog.

    Your picture looks so peaceful!

  11. No one around here has a front porch. Where I grew up, my memaw had a front porch that wrapped around one side of the house and a bench swing and a few chairs. We loved to sit out there and drink a coke or watch the cars go by.

  14. Well I love where you come from Jules! I remember Wisconsin very well and cherish every moment that I spent there. I would have waved Hello too! Your porch is lovely!
    Our favorite spot is our little deck in the back yard under the Maple tree. It is our little haven.
    Love Di ♥
