The Passing of Porches

Year for new homes never seem to have the old porches, two old rockers, a porch swing, and perhaps with a table or in front of the house pointing out a welcoming hand to all who like to quote is coming, accessible, both. No, today is all you seem to see a small, unfriendly concrete slab, no chairs, no swing, just in front of the door slab. I sadly, they find, as a contractor and I know that this question of economics, the idea of ​​a house extension that should not be combined with any wasted space. Although how anyone can say a porch wasted space is beyond me, for no better watch the rain fall down in sheets, or evening air felt good place. And where you watch your neighbor can mow the lawn, or chatting with the woman next door. The right to see the world go by, and feel safe and secure was the place.

An old house I grew up with a large porch, in front of the bloom, when the house really wide, was bigger than most of the rooms in the house. We as children on the ground below, he jumped to either the mother or father will be when we looked through the window, and put a stop to it with the cry "you're doing to have children trying to break your legs? " , All jumps until they were out of sight was suspended. On rainy days we play on the floor, listening as the thunder overhead boomed, danced in the sky would look as power. My father some twenty years ago on the old porch, a porch swing, put it still hangs there, swinging back and forth, back and forth, as well as the wind gently plays. We porch many a quiet summer evening, conversation, our entertainment, no hurry, no TV, just the cool breeze and the sun sinks spent out. My mother still lives in the old family home and we visit often, and when the weather is just right, and the sun sinks, porch, and swing, so the call begins.

Old house we live in today is an old porch, the home side, away from the kitchen, open fields overlooking the eastern sky and out of it juts. Old-fashioned columns supporting the roof was fragile at a spinning spline. Paint a half-hearted way, lime is hanging on his curves and discolored with age, the surface of weathered and cracked one too many Midwestern winter. There are no railings around the old porch, outside air, which dead leaves and debris into a whirling waltz pirouettes keep an uplifting crowd danced to the tune. The old porch, an old sweater, or slippers, or pipe like a comfortable place. It groans like an old man changes, and memories of days gone by shows.

Old porch, a steaming cup of coffee with you before the dew from the chair, after wiping to sit on the morning watch, and wait for the sun to light your way in the morning sky, the back cover of the night as the push Olympian heights to the throne in this gradually ascends. Morning winds blow through fields of corn across the country, they undulate like ocean waves due. Birds, with the light of new day now restless night, want the freedom of the sky, and fill them with song. Cycle begins anew, and promise.
