Porching

Porching is a great term coined by friend B. G. Although we live very far apart, I can imagine the familia enjoying the cool shade of their wraparound porch. Breezes and views abound, I am sure. Here's to porching in style! 

Well, here is our version of porching. We built a small deck by the water, perched up into the end of an old road bed. A huge balsam fir provides shade and a little privacy . 

In the mid morning we may sit there, enjoying our final coffee of the day. Decaf Nespresso.  Then in the late afternoon we might reconvene there for an adult beverage. It is also a nice spot if one or two come to visit. 

We used to have a better sun umbrella there, but last summer it died after three decades of service. So there is a little cheesy one there now, but honestly, we rarely need it. (Although in my glamourous dreams I see a pergola there).

Here are two videos that give a sense of the place. Too bad you can't smell the coffee and the forest. In the background you may hear a whipper snipper going. It is the weekend , after all, and neighbours have to get their chores done. 

Happy Porching.
