thank you for this lovely and magical retelling of the beloved fable. I also agree about the magic of a front porch, and have often mused about the isolation of modern architecture, houses designed from the inside out, and the loss of community that has occurred with the advent of attached garages, privacy fences, and back decks. The front porch offers shelter but also opportunity for observation, communication, and neighborly interactions. Nothing like sitting in a gliding chair, drinking an iced tea and lemonade, watching a storm.

Hi Kate! Thank you. I hope we get to enjoy some time on the porch together one of these summers.
Wado Tiya!
