The Porch Swing

The swing, the source of hours of entertainment and laughter from young children

to the young at heart.

Pioneers made swings from wooden sticks and rope tied to a tree to let their

children frolic during the down times as they traveled.

As the swing evolved through the years it soon became the center of the

playground. 

Some of my favorite memories are playing on a swing. The tire swing in the tree

at my cousin's house, the swing set in my backyard. Daringly jumping from the

swing as I bravely swung as high as I could. Teaching my kids to “pump” at the

local park swing and now my grandchildren. 

One often forgotten swing is the porch swing, shaped like a bench and

hung from the front porch ceiling. The porch swing is where the mothers would sit

watching the children play while visiting with the neighbor ladies and sipping lemonade.

In the evenings it's where the families would gather after the day's activities.

Through the years people began to hang the porch swing from anything that

could support them, not only porches but trees, arbors, pergolas,

stands in the garden. 

Our porch swing idea was born when we realized the light wooden swing

we had was no match for this humid Florida weather.  

I can now sit on my porch swing with my grandchildren and listen to the stories

about their days laughing and making memories to cherish.
