Porches And Balconies
When I was younger, before I had my own home or even my own apartment I used to walk the streets of whatever city I was living in and admire the porches and the balconies. Oh my, I couldn’t wait to have one of my own. I would dream about having a grand wraparound porch like they do in the south, with a couple of rocking chairs and a spiked lemonade. Or I would imagine myself on a balcony that overlooked the city and where I would enjoy dessert with loved ones as the sun went down. Now, I have a lovely yard to entertain in and I enjoy morning tea or coffee while sitting on the steps of my own porch but I still enjoy seeing people enjoying their own balconies and porches. It’s kind of like a preview or one of those live photos on the iphone. Sometimes I hear a glimpse of a heated argument between neighbors or sweet jazz setting the scene of a romantic first date. So many special moments happen on the porch or the balcony, in my case I’ve had great memories on both - and plan to make many, many more.
