subject: Wooden Porch Swings Should Be Revitalized [print this page] Now, when we are interested in a bit of social time, all we have to do is head to the front porch. The are a great excuse for the shyer neighbors to venture up on our porch so they can "try them ou wooden porch swings t." Our life is fuller, and we have many more interesting stories to hear as the fireflies light the night or the breeze cools us. It's really like we moved into a whole new neighborhood just because we suddenly became front porch accessible. We still have the great Amish wood furniture out back if we want a more private evening, but usually we choose to head for the porch in the evening and discover what has happened in the lives that live next to us that day.
