A Porch
This evening Anastasia was cooking food for the coming week. As a result, our apartment got rather hot. When I went to take some trash outside I was surprised at how much it had cooled down, and there was a gentle breeze blowing. The lovely evening was emphasized all the more by the stuffy indoors.
Strangely, the first thing that came to my mind was that when we buy a house, it will need a porch. It may take a little while to afford it, but before the kids have all flown the coop, I'd like a porch.
I realize that a porch doesn't necessarily belong on a wishlist because it is something I'll need to do myself. However, a barren porch is a pitiful sight. In order to be functional, there are a bunch of things required:
- place(s) to sit
- small table to hold drinks, newspaper, etc.
- wind chime
- candle in a cage
- miscellaneous small artsy-fartsy things
After scouring the Internet for a few moments, I found the images at the top. They are things that I like, but before you go and grab any of them, you may want to check with my wife. ;-)
Here are a few interesting sites that I found while wishing for a porch:
