A front porch is very inviting. Shields us from the rain. A place to sit and watch the world. Or hang a swinging hammock and have a snooze. Reminds us of the depression days in Canada where the poor folks that owned the farm would see the guy from the bank coming to take it. Some modern homes have little porches- room for one outdoor chair. A porch let's us have an outdoor room. There is always the safety of returning inside, locking the door and shutting the curtains to the world. Porches are a fun place for children to play within the safe range of mother's hearing. Or mother can join! And father too! At night, look up at the stars. In some parts of the country using lots of bug spray would help to make the moment pleasurable. How many first kisses happen on a porch? Proposals? Other significant announcements? The lowly porch! Or is it?
