I’m afraid I have a bad cold, so today’s porch is a repeat from August 2012.

“Typical farmhouse, spring housecleaning, homemade quilts and bedding in sun. Coffee County, Alabama.” Photos taken April 1939 by Marion Post Wolcott.

Just one more porch photographed by John Vachon — this one in Nicholas County, Kentucky, in November 1940.*

Her dress goes with the house and her curls with the porch.
