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 (?)

Our Cabin Porch

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.
