Each evening Janis & I walk through the house, observing the day's progress and planning the next day's tasks. Changes and often additions are discussed. Then I sit down and do some drawing to work up what we talked about. It is a fun process.

Today as we looked over the porch with all the cool trees we thought it needed something more. After some discussion we decided a porch swing would be just the ticket. We talked of where it would hang and what it might look like. An ordinary swing wouldn't do. It had to have a heart theme of course to fit into what we were already building and it had to reflect the quality we were working into the rest of the house. Then we came into the house and I began to draw...

For now I'll do little more than beef up the ceiling structure and put the eye bolts into the soffits of the porch but the porch swing will be a cool addition when the house is done. By then we'll need a place to sit and have a little rest.
