Not so long ago I loved sitting on the front porch with some of my family. I was the little girl sitting on the porch. I didn’t ever get a chair. Our porch was never this large but it was a fine place to be. I think this is why I am always drawn to houses with porches.
I remember in grade school, an older girl who lived down the street had a small screened porch off her bedroom. Way cooler than a front porch! Love front porches but not much experience of them.
