HOMEKEEPING

Life on the Porch is Good

It's hot, y'all. But I still enjoy sitting out there in my rocker in the morning, with my third cup of coffee, praying over my neighbors and neighborhood, and getting the lay of the land. My puppy-girl, Sugar, loves to roam from one end to the other. She stalks our neighbors, Josh and Lizzie, and tries to shame them into taking her on a trail walk.  

Just before sundown, you may find me sipping a tall glass of sweet tea or fruit-infused water to bring the temperature down. Or, as my "Gathering" page is all about this month, occasionally I settle down with a "cold supper" of one kind or another, even if it's just a good ol' tomato sandwich. Well, what can I say? Life is good on the porch.

Send me pictures of your porch or outdoor spaces this summer. Let's share! Leave your story here:
