October 26: Porch Swing

When we first moved into our home, years ago, my parents bought us a porch swing. It's very fitting for our home, not to mention well used. In fact, one of my wife and kids favorite things to do is rock on the porch swing and just sort of take in the neighborhood on any given day. It's kept it's permanent position on our front porch - Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter - since my folks first gave it to us. Until today that is. With strong winds, allegedly in excess of 65 mph, headed our way, I had no choice but to take the swing apart. I basically just removed the swing and the cloth top from the base, then stored those pieces separately in the garage until the inclement weather passed. Better safe than sorry...at least that's what the front picture window suggested to me.
