swing away!



I've  always wanted a porch big enough to have rocking chairs. When we were planning our addition, I asked our contractor if I could have a porch..."Sure!" he said! So, he built us one. We are still looking for the rockers, but Hubby found this pretty swing at a local building supply place. Last week, he sanded it, we primed and painted it, and Friday, we hung it! I love the way it looks and the way it swings. It's a nice place to have my morning coffee on these spring mornings. It's also a sweet place to "swing" babies to sleep which I did Saturday when Little E needed a rest.

I expect it to get lots of use because now that we have the room we need, I am pretty sure we are here to stay! Thirty seven years and counting....

  2. this brings back fond memories, my grandmothers porch had a swing very similar to this one. i spent many happy hours with a pillow under my head, lying down with one foot off to push and reading and swinging... hours and hours..

  4. I *love* having a porch - so glad that you have one now! Your swing looks great there. We haven't pulled our swing out of the winter shed yet...and it's a good thing, as we have a snow day today here in Colorado!
