The arms were about 4" wide where the wrists were, but tapered down to about 1" near the back. Spindle shaped backrest, with wide neckrest, maybe 6" or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-70575599257950992052010-05-02T20:29:42.514-05:002010-05-02T20:29:42.514-05:00Hey Andy...

While family was here I took the time in the morning to sit in a rocking chair on my porch with my coffee and maybe some fruit and listen to the quiet and watch the birds. I get up earlier than they so I had the porch to myself. A nice quiet time. I do so love my porch.Momladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11511742074910407321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-6737341896748447292010-05-02T15:38:42.692-05:002010-05-02T15:38:42.692-05:00Hey K...

I know Momlady wanted it done...and now that's one thing less for her to worry about!<br /><br />How is your resident gardener coming along in his endeavors? I do hope your garden is productive this season!<br /><br />If all the blooms on my tomatoes turn to fruit, I'll have a lot of 'maters for the table!

It was grey and drizzly much of the time, but we had our burn any way, and from the rockers we could watch as it died down a bit (no worries, we didn't leave it unattended/unmonitored while it was really active). It was lovely to rock and listen to the rainwater plinking in the downspouts, dripping from the trees, punctuated by various bird calls.<br /><br />I've always wanted a home with a broad porch with Brumbie (sp?) rockers on it, enough for family and friends to enjoy...some day...<br /><br />Shade and Sweetwater,<br />KKyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-72195028087286195992010-05-02T15:30:43.128-05:002010-05-02T15:30:43.128-05:00Hey Mechanic...

Ours are more like an extra small room with windows and a door. Guess it has to do with our climate. Even if we didn´t use to have any heat in them, they sort of were an extra insolation towards the winter winds. <br /><br /><br />I agree about the rocking chair! There has to be a rocking chairin a home, especially in a croft cottage like mine :-) But the one You mention is so loved that the price on them are sky high, so I have a more modern one, a bit slimmer. Not the same but it is made of wood and it gives away that special sound :-)<br />Have a great day now!<br />Christer.The cottage by the Cranelakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07521318192039394408noreply@blogger.com
