Sleeping porches– a wonderful staple of summer nights in the south.  I’ve yet to see a sleeping porch (or really a screened porch at all) in California, I guess because it gets cold at night anyway and the house cools off, so you don’t need to sleep outside, and there aren’t mosquitos, so you don’t need a screened porch.  But regardless, I miss sleeping porches.

 Especially this kind above, with multiple beds, where the parents stick all the kids at the lake in the summer.  How fun does that look??

Happy 4th y’all.
