When I am not changing diapers or washing clothes I am taking care of my ferns. For some reason, that has become my favorite pasttime - or as Tim calls it my obsession. Every summer I get two ferns and see how big they will grow. This summer has been particularly good. They have loved the location of our front porch. The days are beginning to get shorter so soon they will have to come inside and see if they survive the winter indoors. I have not been as successful with them inside as I have been with them outside.
One of our favorite things to do is sit on our front porch swing and eat ice cream especially on a beautiful summer night like this night. It reminds me of some of my favorite childhood memories when I would sit with Aunt Alice on her front porch. That is why both of our houses have had a front porch with a swing. As Dad would say "it just doesn't get any better than this." The only way it could is if all of our families were there to share it with us.

Those ferns are amazing - inspirational, really. I guess now mom is going to have to post some pictures of her flowers just to keep up with the Kissocks.
I have never seen such huge ferns. They are absolutely beautiful.It's also a lovely picture of your home. Your right, there is nothing like a front porch swing. Maybe, if everyone had one the world might be a little better place to live.
