The Porch and Romance

Ahh... Porches and romance , makes me think of kisses good night and sitting on the porch swing with your sweetheart. Or maybe a young girl sitting on that swing waiting for her beau to come by.When I think about porches I see visions of Andy , Aunt Bea , and Opie sitting around on on a summers eve talking about the goings on in Mayberry.
Or the porch at the country store where everyone gathered to gossip or play a game of checkers.
Or where the family gathered to have that photographer come to
take a family picture.

When I think of a Romantic porch , it looks like this...




Or this...




Or this...




My porch may not be that romantic , but it is where family and friends
gather to talk and eat and enjoy a summer holiday .






Where flowers bloom , kids play in the yard and everyone feels at home.
I think that has an element of romance .


Don't you ?
Well now I am really yearning for warm weather, and soft summer nights .

Linking up with Gypsy Brocante and Porch Club Monday

  1. I love your front porch -- just looks like 4th of July. Seems everyone lives at the back of their house but a front porch is so welcoming. Say a little (or big) prayer cause it looks like it may warm up after we get the next few days out of the way. I'm sooooo ready!!! Have a good week. Jan

  2. I love how you took us through the years in just a few words and pictures! I think many of us gals have had some romance with perhaps even our first kiss at the door on our porch. But there is a wonderful romantic notion about keeping family close isn't there!?!

  4. I think having friends, family and loved ones around sharing talk and laughter is perfectly romantic! That's what porches are for.
