Porch Sitting



Greetings from our porch. I've been inspired by one of my favorite Facebook pages, The Porch Potatoes, to enjoy our porch, sit on our porch, and share photos of porches I've enjoyed over the last few years.  I'm a porch sitter from way back.  My mother used to love to porch sit.  I can remember sitting out on the porch after supper and talking away. As my mom got older, those times became more precious.  Now when I'm with my sister we enjoy a good porch sit.  But I have little or no porch pictures from back in the day.  That was when film was a precious commodity and unless you were a professional photographer you saved that roll of 12 or 24 for special moments.  Little did I realize how precious those moments on the porch were.
I'm going to do a series of posts on porch sitting memories. Today I'm sharing one from last year.  It was a beautiful fall day.  My husband and I were out on the porch with nothing but an iPad and Pandora radio.  A lively tune came on and Lloyd got up and went inside for a set of spoons.  And that day he played the spoons a few times.  It was better for me than Carnegie Hall.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching. I came to the realization that I primarily use Facebook to feed my desire for approbation.  Don't we all want to be admired and respected?  Don't we often want to be right, to have a forum where others are agreeing with our brilliance?  LOL I'm guilty. I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...
