The Front Porch

Tomorrow the bunkhouse slab will be poured and Wednesday the builder will start throwing lumber at it.

Don't know if I mentioned, but we oriented the front porch toward the West. It is intentionally wide enough for two rocking chairs, one on either side of the front door. It is also conveniently located so that we can glance toward the pond to see what might come to water and see the deer come to the corn feeder placed there. Look straight ahead and you will be steady eyeballin' the San Gabriel River valley with magnificent copses of oak trees.

We have sat in lawn chairs at our front porch location over the years and watched wild turkey stroll calmly by, fawns stealthily hide in the weeds, and hawks cartwheel over the pasture in pursuit of prey.

Reckon I am already in the mood to point them rocking chairs toward the West and just drink in the sunset glory.
