1.   I played with crickets, watched the air raids from the upstairs porch and listened to the grown-ups talk about life when things were normal again.

2.   Summer nights, Stella and I share a hammock on the upstairs sleeping porch.

3.   That particular tree happens to be in my line of vision when I sit on the upstairs front porch.

4.   The eerie feeling intensified as I cautiously rolled over in the hammock to face the screened walls of my upstairs sleeping porch.

5.   Through a recording deal, he got hold of a mixing board, which sits on a folding table on his upstairs porch.

6.   Usually, he waits until the nights have warmed up and the cats and I have settled into our summer sleeping quarters on an upstairs back porch.

7.   We sat on the upstairs front porch on a warm day, sipping lemonade and telling stories on ourselves and absent friends.

8.   We went to the gym a second time and then practiced rappelling off my upstairs porch, since rappelling is the only way to get off the Finger.

9.   I noticed that one of the orchids on the upstairs porch was brown and dying.
