front porch

In college, whenever my roommate Brian and I used to walk about, I would always point out front porches and get all starry-eyed. I love the idea of front porches. Nothing seems more relaxing and inviting to me than greeting people from your front porch in the evening and dusk. However, since I’ve lived on my own, I’ve never had a front porch. We have logs now. We never finished our chopping last year and the logs have instead served as seating for us and neighbors. Today, while we were sitting out there on this perfectly lovely evening, our new neighbor (the new roommate of neighbor Greg) came over and we introduced ourselves. I guess we have the idea of the front porch there without the actual structure. I like that.
