I love the pictures. Wonderful memories. Now I have a swing on my front porch uncovered though so can't sit on it in the rain and I love to sit there while reading a good book, watching the birds at the feeders and watching the sun set, enjoying God's beautiful creation.

Blessings, Tina. As Anne Shirley would say, we're kindred spirits, Mrs. When I step outside my front door I'm on a raised cement slab about 18" high. The previous owners left holes for a railing to be installed, but never put one up, possibly because the pitch of the house roof doesn't allow for a covered porch roof unless major construction is undertaken. We haven't attempted it because the slab isn't very wide - certainly not wide enough for a porch swing.

So I sit at my cast iron bistro set to watch the birds at my feeders and enjoy God's wonders like you do. But I have my memories of other swings and dream of the day I'll have another.

I recently completed the refinishing of a porch swing that was built in by my Great-grandfather using a Montgomery Ward hardware kit. It came down to me through family and has quite the storied past. At one point my Uncle stored it for my Grandmother and after several years of her not using it he sold it.

Of course the next year she was ready to use it again and Uncle had no idea to whom it had been sold. He had to go door to door through several hollers in south-eastern Kentucky before he found the man who had purchased it then had to pay substantially more than he had originally received for it in order to buy it back.

It took him months to find it for her. By the s, however, the front porch had dwindled in popularity as new indoor means of entertainment such as radio and television became available.

Increased availability of automobiles also introduced a new kind of social interaction and eliminated the need to wait outside the home for neighbors to pass by.
