The Front Porch
I am a water person, maybe not by astrology, but by just loving rain and the sound of running water. My daughter dug a small pond in my front yard and then we found a neat pond form with a water fall so she covered the hole back up and we sat it on top of the dirt. We got a pond plant yesterday to try to keep the water from turning green. I sure like this better than the other one as it is easier to keep clean and besides I love the falling water sounds. Wish they were louder. She has a big pond with lots of gold fish and says when we get mine a little less green I can have a fish. Do I want a fish? Probably not, because I am afraid the wild neighborhood cats that drink water from my pond would eat my fish. I think the flower is enough. I also have a bucket and pump water fountain on my porch that makes a great sound. My porch is my favorite place. I have a screened in front porch with a ceiling fan and a tv so you can imagine where I spend my time on nice mornings and cool evenings. I even take my laptop out there. I have porch furniture and I put my yard swing up there. My grandkids love to swing. The other day my granddaughters were laying on their backs with their heads off the seat, their feet up the back of the swing and laughing themselves silly. Its so special that they can swing and enjoy the outdoors without the mosquitoes eating them alive. My office gave me the swing as a retirement gift and we are sure making the most of it. The porch is a special place when it rains. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a front porch. Most people don't have any idea what they are missing by not having one. I saw a new house the other day and they had built a porch on it. You rarely see that. I am very lucky that I have a home that was built in the 30s and I love it!!!
