The Front Porch

The Front Porch

Philadelphia, PA

Spring 1993ish

This is my mother's front porch. She loved this spot.  We sat out here from early spring to late fall.  We spent hours here, drinking tea and watching our neighbors. Mostly we sat here in the early evening, when it wasnt so hot. When my siblings came to visit, sometimes we never got beyond the front porch. Sometimes, there could be as many as fifteen of us sitting out there. Moslty we sat on the right side but, as necessary, there would be an overflow of people who sat on the left side. And then my paretns sold this house and moved in to a condo that didnt have a porch. I miss this porch.  I miss this time.
