The Front Porch

I always enjoy sitting on the front porch of my son’s home in North Carolina. His house is at the end of a cul-de-sac, next to a wooded lot, that in winter and without the leaves on the trees, you can see a sliver of Lake Wiley.

Even in the winter, when it’s about 45* here, I still like to grab some blankets and bundle up and sit out on the front porch with a cup of coffee.

Occasionally we can see deer, and always lots of birds. 

Yesterday I saw four deer and this morning I saw a red-headed woodpecker, my first robin of the season, a beautiful Eastern bluebird and, something new to me that I identified as, a Ruby-crown Kinglet. 

I enjoy seeing the birds and listening to their singing, and also watching the squirrels scampering to and fro. Squirrels are fun to watch in the woods (not at one’s bird-feeders!)

It’s a great way to start the day.

    1. It really is a nice setting. I’m glad the weather was cooperating yesterday…today the wind chill made it uncomfortable.

  1. Hope your blanket was a warm one. So glad you had a sunny wooded wildlife morning. You probably had such beauty to observe that there was no time for Wordle!

    1. It was lovely sitting there sipping coffee with Tim. Then when he went to work, I went to work on wordle! Ha

  2. There is nothing like sitting outside enjoying nature’s offerings! What a blessing a front porch is!

    1. Front porches are a great way to watch the day wake up and see people out and about.
