Now that’s a back porch.
Years ago a back porch was more than a place to sit and reflect. During the warmer months of the year there was plenty of kitchen and laundry work that needed to be done… mainly food preservation of the crops that would sustain the family throughout the Winter and coming Spring. It was much more pleasant to be doing these chores out on the porch where the heat from all the fires needed to can and heat water didn’t make working so unbearable.
