As summertime is approaching (actually, not in Steamboat, it’s snowing here today…), we start dreaming of ways to live outside in the coming months.  We long for bonfires, fireworks, iced tea and the sound of crickets in the air.  Well, I do at least.  Screened in porches are a long celebrated vision of summer, and today I want to share some of my favorite “rustic” screened porches with you.  This is a collection of lake-side fun and rugged beauty.  Next week, I’ll share the rest of the screened in porches that I love from all around the country and every different style, but today is devoted to hanging out in the mountains.
