still no porch...........


I shouldn't complain.


We have a very fun yard.
Rain or shine.
Sleet or snow.



Fun stuff everywhere.


buckets of yard art.............


a breezy back yard


grass and a swing


flowers in Spring.

But I would still like to have a porch.

One can't really build a porch onto a
Frank Lloyd Wright
house like we have.
Your house has to start with one.
Or it will look like it's added.
And while we're at it......
I'd like all of my neighbors to have a porch, too.

People like the image; it takes them back to simplicity,
it conjures up the symbol of
'I want to go there,'
and the porch takes them there.

I wouldn't want a house without a porch.
I try to discourage people from building decks,
which are totally useless.
Ruben Yoder


The more sides of the porch open to the great outdoors, the better.
One is hardly enough, two is better; three is ideal.
Sarah Susanka


One factor pulling people away from the front porch and its engagement with the public realm may have been the backyard's emergence as a more pleasant place to spend time.

I love porches! We once had a HUGE porch on an 1800's Victorian we rented. Loved sitting out there. The world needs more porches!

My Favorite Child

I wish I had all the pictures I wanted, to go with this blog post........because I know a *picture paints a thousand words*, but for a large part of our family's life, old fashion cameras and old fashion pictures were being used.  So, many of the pictures that would help paint this post are somewhere in boxes and books.  It would take a month of Sundays to find them all so  I will just have to count on your imagination and my memory! FAVORITE: most liked, preferred above all others Sara, you were my favorite.  You were our first baby and we were so excited for you.  Your hair was perfect for me to learn how to braid and you always were very still for me.  You were the first little girl I got to dress up and put lacy socks on.  You were such a fun little girl to read to.  You memorized the books we had and it was a big part of our day to read with each other.  *where is the bear when the wind blows cold?*.    You have always been interested in the *family tree*, dates, p
