Evening On The Porch

Most of the construction is done on the two porches. Between the two of them, we have about 300 sq feet of more space to enjoy for family gatherings and simply to enjoy on long summer evenings. Since they are both covered porches, we can even enjoy them in the rain. There is a bit more finishing touches to be done and then paint them. I will be doing the painting in the fall when its not so hot out.
Emery and I sat outside on the south porch until time to do chores and then after chores we tried out the back porch. Both are delightful.

Tomorrow night we will celebrate Emery's birthday and everyone is looking forward to spending time on the porches. We are such outdoor folks.

One of the first things I intend to do is put up a nice retractable clothes line on the long south porch for those rainy weeks when its hard to get the clothes dried. Life is good.

We have been so blessed by having an honest, god fearing, hard working, very skilled workman and crew building the porch for us. A fine man from the church we used to attend. I suspect we will be having him do more work for us in the future.

Melanie and Mei-Ling spent the day with me, another blessing for me to be able to help Melanie and also play with the baby. She was sitting in her high chair today surrounded by good healthy things to eat. We settled on a banana and a kiwi for her fruits today and she was a happy girl.

Pslam 128:2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours.
