When we moved in to our home almost 12 years ago, I had a vision for our front porch. It included a bent willow bench. I searched and searched for the perfect bench finally concluding that I would have to make one myself.....if only I could find the perfect willows!
One day as I was driving down Wall Avenue, I saw a rusty old truck sitting in a vacant lot with my PERFECT bent willow bench sitting on its flat bed! Defying all traffic laws, I spun into the lot! I spoke to the man in the truck, who explained in broken English that he had driven from Mexico to sale his wares. Besides my perfect bench, he had chairs, rockers and tables...but all I could picture was my front porch! I've since kicked myself for not buying it all!
I carried my treasure home to its perfect spot on the front porch! It has remained there holding many quilts, as well as family members and friends. A prefect spot to read the morning paper or to watch the sky change at the end of another perfect day.
Welcome to my front porch...feel free to stop by any time, just for a moment or to stay and chat.
