The First Porch Set of the Season! …
The weather was so nice this afternoon that we decide to take a risk and kick-off the porch settin’ season a little early. Well, earlier than last year, since we arrived in June—arguably prime porch settin’ season. However, before we could porch set proper we needed to do all our chores. But after we went grocery shopping, had our supper, put away the dishes, and grabbed us a few beers, we were gonna porch set! Besides, the house was kinda stinky. Not that it was our fault. The window fellers used some sort of stuff that stunk somethin’ awful. Honestly, the porch seemed kinda like the smart place to get away from all the fumes. But, once we were ready, I grabbed a porter, the wife got herself a Tecate—which she says is more like a “beer soda”—and we headed for the front door!
Well, in the time it took us to do our shopping, eat our dinner, and clean up after ourselves, the temperature had dropped a few degrees. We enjoyed our beers, and it was definitely a nice porch set. After all, we got to say hi to neighbors walking their dogs or taking an evening stroll. But, dang, it was nippy.
Fortunately, last night’s porch set was a little bit warmer. It’s still nippy in the evenings though!
And the beer bottle jugband made for an enjoyable evening
I’m going to have to try to come by soon and get some porch settin’ in over there. MAybe even when you’re home ;P
Consider yourself lucky! Not only do we not have a porch (well, actually, we do… but it’s only half a porch, and it’s currently not attached to the house!), but the temperature *just* crept into the positives again here today.
