Front Porches
Never did I think that I think I would pay so much attention to front porches, but here I am. Without intention, I find myself scrutinizing every house I drive past with a porch attached. Does it wrap around the whole house? Is it screened-in? How big is it? What's the railing situation? Stairs?
My house had a front porch until it didn't; it was more like a platform than a porch, as it was never intended to be permanent. It had a few steps off the sides, no railings. It served me well, but after a decade or so, it started to fail. Last fall, it began to pull away from the house and took some of the siding off with it.

Spring is Busting Out All Over!
The spring months are a wonderful time of year to get out and explore. Burbling brooks, rushing waterfalls, quaint covered bridges, and trees bursting into bloom make this a delightful time of year to take a road trip around the region or plan a trip to a sugarhouse to learn how maple syrup is made.
Spring is also the perfect season to hit the slopes or trails unencumbered by heavy jackets, hats, and mittens to enjoy a day or two — or more — of endless blue skies, soft snow, and sweetly scented air.
