A year of scenic views and the promise of porch pleasures。

Drinking perfectly chilled glasses of iced tea， passing the time in a favorite rocker， getting lost in a book or deep conversation。 A sunny wooden porch painted in pale yellow， green， and red。 A lakeside porch that practically extends over the water。 A rustic stone porch with columns and potted ferns。 And an illuminated covered patio set for an elegant dinner party。 Accompanying the transporting photographs are porch-themed passages from literature。 It’s a gift of pure serenity and an escape with every glance。 Sit， feel the breeze， stay awhile。 Printed on responsibly sourced paper。
