When I was in university, a friend of mine rented a very old house in the far north of town. The front of the house had a large porch with a swing and a few chairs. We loved to relax there: his roommate would light up a Black & Mild cigar, another friend would puff on a tobacco pipe, and we'd listen to the summer rain. I often miss the simple, idyllic serenity of those days.
I've wanted a porch of my own ever since, but none of the houses I've lived in have had one. My area is full of newer houses, and the vast majority of them do not have porches. It's a trend that seems to be dying out.
