Dad and Rosalie's Porch. Devon, PA

“We are porch sitters. Rosalie will sit in a love seat along with Tillie and read by the hour. We Dietz boys grew up with a porch and perhaps it was the best of the family gatherings that we had. Sitting there on the porch in rockers watching the rain come down the valley or just watching a full moon rise over the hill across from our house. Mother often singing songs that we knew or learned as we joined in with some dissonant voice. It was perfect although I do not recall that Dad was a regular. He was too busy saying his good nights to the various farm animals. He loved just running his hands over their shanks or necks talking gently to them and being very interested in their well being. So dad with the animals and mom with the other brand of animals: Family time quiet, soft and warm.”

Dad and Rosalie added this porch on to their home over twenty years ago. It looks like it has always been there. Well Done Dad.-R

Secret Spot in back of yard... with hound.

Look what I found deep in the corner of my friends backyard!

A secret sitting spot. Throw up a trellis, put some viney/climbing

plant on it. ( Rebecca, any easy plant ideas?) and make an outdoor room with some garage sale furniture. oh, Get a cute dog. This reminds me; My dad told me a story recently of going to Brooklyn to see his Aunts and Uncles in the fifties. They had a grape arbor behind their home deep in the city. The grape vines were so thick that you could sit out there for Sunday Spaghetti dinner in a rain storm and not get wet. I am thinking this is a great Seattle plan for keeping the rain out! I suppose you WOULD need about 5 years of patience whilst something grew in thick enough, though.

Well Done!

Feeling the blues, Seattle

Am I blue?
