This post has made me all the more appreciative of my home and where I live. In my deep south neighborhood every home has large front porches, and mine has two! My block is noisy and active and myself and my neighbors tend to be out at odd hours. There is nothing better than the front porch. On quiet weekday nights I will go sit and sip and listen to the blues band across the street practice and late nights after the bars close we come back for that last drink we forgot to get at last call. But the best? A summertime afternoon thunderstorm blowing in. Scoot the chairs back against the house and the porch is deep enough to avoid all but the most sideways of rain, watch the streets flood and the skies crack open while having an afternoon cocktail.

..yes, and a smoke! One ashtray minimum.
