sunset on the couch
My neighbors got a new couch for their family room and put the old one, torn and sad, out at the curb.
They just missed the garbage collection that day so the couch sat for a few days.
At first it was a little jarring to see a couch sitting out there facing our house, but we got used to it and, on Sunday evening, I called them and invited them to meet us on the couch.

We sat for a while.
We watched the sun setting and chatted and re-capped the explosion.
Neighbors drove past and waved - one jokingly offered the wine bottle he had run out to pick up....
We had a pretty view of our own house.

I might miss the couch when it gets taken away.

(Maybe you should put a park bench out there!)

I stared at this one! Hmmm, it's a couch, but it's outside?
Thanks for clearing up the mystery!
I would love to think of things like that. I am not so creative.

I told them I thought you were a terrible person because you don't like jelly donuts!
Actually, They asked very few questions about your blog. It was mostly about my shopping, reading, movie and computer uasge.
The old couch was on our porch and we LOVED to sit comfortably on the couch. Mr. Hot's ex-wife drove by one night and called us afterwards to tell us that we WERE white trash. ;-)
or is it just me?
We shun ours.
