I think they must be harmful to people, too, a digital barrage that overwhelms us on some fundamental level and make us long for simpler times.<br /><br />Somewhere on that porch there's a swing. And ladies in flowered cotton dresses who smell like powder after their afternoon baths. And stolen kisses that are sweeter than anything we can tweet. <br /><br />I congratulate you on using your blog to ground us!Yakpatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788658793693064873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-20901586468802437932009-10-09T15:04:23.345-07:002009-10-09T15:04:23.345-07:00A story in every photo and a warm apple pie in eve...A story in every photo and a warm apple pie in every house.

I refuse to think of a 15 year old with an I-touch jamming to Katy Perry on that porch, or a mom in the kitchen using a stainless convection oven. It will remain in my fantasy world, just as it was back in the days of its newness. I imagine the glasses of tinkling lemonade and the calling cards on the front porch- having told them of friends who dropped by unannounced. No cell phones, no voice mail, no Twitter. A simpler time captured in a single snap of your shutter. I love it.Judy Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081035351814381283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-78945425090864276062009-10-09T07:59:23.280-07:002009-10-09T07:59:23.280-07:00Many who live in big cities know the world, but re...Many who live in big cities know the world, but remain in shock to what's in their own backyard or neighborhood.Cafe Pasadenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366911652838118347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-66175033134395484692009-10-09T07:55:01.972-07:002009-10-09T07:55:01.972-07:00Things are rather Brigadoonish down your way -- th...Things are rather Brigadoonish down your way -- that's why I enjoy strolling around.

Our house is an Edwardian Terraced house built in 1909 and with lots of original features - stained glass, fireplaces, lovely doors etc. It's certainly a bit tatty around the edges but we love it. We bought it from a family who had lived in it for 5 years and before that a couple who had married, lived and died here. I feel connected and secure here - rooted to the history of the house in some way.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448831402553298056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-73916296358342973672009-10-09T03:03:29.241-07:002009-10-09T03:03:29.241-07:00the shades frame the house even more beautifully.the shades frame the house even more beautifully.Ekihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128624439430370669noreply@blogger.com
