Porch Settin'

I grew up in New England, where porches are not all that common.  Porch settin' was a foreign concept to me when I moved to the MidAtlantic eleven years ago.  (Holy crap, I've been down here eleven years?!)

I'm not sure how I survived without porch settin' all those years of my youth.  What else does one do on a stiffling muggy day, than set on the porch with a sweet tea (also foreign to me) and a good book?  Thankfully, my daughter will not be so deprived.  We have started her early, and already Laura understands the pleasure that is settin' on the porch.
