Have a seat on my porch…
One of the things that is perfectly wonderful about our new house is the outdoor space. There are several porches, large and small, situated in special places throughout the house, all of which give you great views of the stream. The largest of these porches, and one of the most wonderful, is the one in front.
Because of the way the house is oriented on the property, when you’re standing on the front porch you get a perfectly wonderful view of the stream. Add to that the fact that the windows in the living room are really large, so when you’re sitting on the front porch, the house almost doesn’t get in the way of the view.
The porch on our old house only let you see the stream if you went and looked over the edge. Now, anyone who walks to the front door will get a wonderful view of the stream. And the porch is large enough that we’ll be able to put a table out there and enjoy an outdoor view and the sound of the stream whenever we please.
Speaking of the door, it was 57º in Beacon today. Just warm enough for me to put another coat of spar varnish on the door. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks Todd!!
