There’s nothing like cabin living after a good snowfall.
If you have that dream cabin in the woods it’s time bring in a few more pieces of firewood.
For those still living the city life, it’s time to head to the store and stock up on bread, milk, and toilet paper.
Stay warm my friends.

Certainly there are hardships, unfulfilled wants, and disappointments felt by those in this fictitious painting, but you certainly don’t see it in their actions. They all appear very happy just to have each other… and, a fine log home in the country.
And that, is the way it should be.

Here we have a nice photo of a log cabin porch. The photographer clearly spent a lot of time composing this shot to make this space as warm, interesting, and inviting, as possible… to the point of perhaps “impracticality”… (I can see that lamp sailing into the yard along with those magazines the moment a sudden strong wind would blow through).
But even so, it’s a nice photo don’t you think?
Now, I would make a request of you, before moving on to the next image here on your Facebook page… (you know the video of the kitty pestering the big dog) lol… imagine for a moment that behind all these decorative items that the house was covered with vinyl siding rather than being an old cabin… suddenly the photo has been ruined… the porch is no longer inviting.
I guess the true beauty in this image happens to be the background… the log cabin.
So, let’s take a look at another log cabin porch one not decorated, but having only the bare necessities of porch living… a few rocking chairs, a barbecue grill, and a bucket (?)

I often catch myself pausing for a few minutes when I look at a photo like this… there is an unusual mix of calm and wonder that I feel.
I’m at home.
And, the intensity of these feelings is only magnified when I stand before a place like this in person.
Why is that?
What is it about these vintage structures, made of natural materials, and assembled by hand, that captures me so?
Why is that so many homes fall short of achieving this reaction?
Should this be the goal of someone building a home?… that this be the bar that determines whether a home has passed the test, or not?… it’s a concept worth considering that a home not only serve as a source of habitation, but also as something that stirs the soul?

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.
