Hey y'all,
I think one thing that is a Southern Staple, is to spend some time on the porch. Whether enjoying a nice conversation, sipping some tea, or reading a good book, I think the porch is one place everyone in south agrees upon is a gathering place during nice weather is the porch.
Now current temperatures are over 100, the porch is only available for evening time with the fans going or I would melt in the heat. While I love our porch at home, I do love looking at Pinterest for some beautiful porch inspirations. Wherever I end up later in life, a porch filled with rockers, fans, and a couch are required. I will of course teach my children the beauty of slowing down and enjoying the small joys of listening to the neighborhood's quietness or having a chat over some sweet tea.
Here are some of my favorite porch pins.
Do you love your front porch? What do you do on your porch? What is your Southern Summer Staple?
ps. I completely believe that Air Conditioning is a Southern Summer Staple, but couldn't think of anything cute about A/C that would make it it's own post. :)
Peace and Blessings,

I am not originally from the South (I'm English) but since I was lucky enough to marry and NC man, I have been quite well immersed in all things Southern from the moment I got here.... and I must say, I adore the porch thing y'all have going on. We're planning to build our own house in the future and a lovely porch is very high on our list of priorities!
ReplyDeleteI would kill for a porch like that!
