The Porch


The back of our house has this huge awning and porch that becomes the center of our world each spring.  Last winter the awning came crashing down under the weight of one of the biggest snow storms to hit our region.  Last Friday the new awning went up,  we painted the porch and put the furniture back in its place.  Then last night we christened it with dinner, friends, wine and music.  No reason to travel anywhere this time of year.  I like the contrast of the gray porch floor with the cream and white of the house.  We have three sets of french doors across the back that can all be opened creating a wonderful zone where people call flow freely in and out.  This is my favorite time of year and one of my favorite places to be rest and think.
