Front porch sitting

Last evening Andrew and I were finally able to enjoy a glass of wine on our front porch.  That is one of the things I love most about our house.  At our old house, the house literally sat right up at the sidewalk.  We had a lovely screened in porch, but I didn't enjoy sitting where everyone could just see us when they walked by.  It was pleasant for entertaining though, if others were over and wanted to be outside.  Although our current front porch doesn't work at all for entertaining, we now have a patio out back that works just fine for that.  And our front porch works perfectly for Andrew and I to sit next to each other and enjoy a beverage.  We sit rather far back from the road so if someone is walking by and doesn't want to acknowledge us, it isn't awkward, but not so far that we can't wave and hollar "hello" if someone does.  An evening drink on our front porch is pretty much the #1 thing I look forward to each spring.  Last evening was really ideal for it.  Often in the summer it begins to get too warm for it, but last night, with a sweatshirt, it was just perfect!  We even noticed that the buds are really starting to come out on the trees, and things are really beginning to come to life.  Although it is six weeks later than the spring equinox, it seems as though spring might really be here!
