Qiviut, its a lovely front porch and landscape! And a nice porch swing!

You have your completed shady place with chairs where you can sip tea and talk with relatives while you shuck the peas you plant next year!

(I might be projecting a bit here!)

Sipping tea & talking to relatives would be close to accurate; shelling peas, not so much.

I do have good memories of shelling lima beans, as a child, with my Granny & Aunt, sitting under the shade of some big old trees in the front yard of her house. It was hot, not much breeze & the locusts were ‘singing’. Her house was about 20 minutes down the road from where we live now.

I’ll change it up some and say where you can sip tea, talk with relatives, while you snap green beans that you plant next year! ;)

Some of my truly TRULY favorite memories are of my grandma, mom, and aunts, all snapping green beans while sitting in webbed lawn chairs underneath the 100+ year old Southern Magnolia, sipping iced tea, trading stories, and watching us kids (lots of cousins) run around barefoot and playing tag. Those were the good ole days, fer sure. (Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose. My southern accent slips in every now and again when I talk, so maybe it should sometimes when I write, too.)
