Winter porch...

In the summer, this porch sofa is one of my favorite places to be. From this vantage point I see a variety of wildlife, mostly birds that feast at the feeders nestled in the pines you see outside the window. My glorious chickens run about outside on nice days, and they are such fun to watch. The porch is not insulated, so is really a glorified freezer all winter. Still, some days when I go out and see the cold sun glinting through the wavy glass, I feel a strong desire to curl up in this spot with a good book to read and day dream and watch the quiet world outside the window. Alas, were I to do that, my digits would freeze off and I'd be unable to take pictures and type this blog! No porch sitting till it gets warm. June, perhaps?

I feel the same way about our porch. I confess, on milder winter days, I plug in the electric heater and enjoy an hour or so of "pretend summer."
