I love my back porch, it is, I think, truly Appalachian, a porch that is fully utilized and lived in. Down below, there is our new garden, stuffed with pansies and new flowers coming. Then, Maria’s pots where she plants young seedlings and new seeds for movement into the gardens. There’s a barn cat on the left, Flo, Minnie in one of the chairs and the chickens gathered for their afternoon meeting. The only thing missed is the clothes stand where we dry a lot of our clothes. It’s a classic in its own right, and it draws the photographer because so much is happening there.
