0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front Porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South. I have the cliffs and the scaries and the birds. I have the white hill and the round hill and the piqued hill.
0:31.0	I have the clear spring water and the rich good pasture
0:35.0	that covers the tilted top of the island like a blanket.
0:39.0	I have the old black cow and the sweet grass that grows between the rocks. I have my great chair
0:45.8	and my sturdy house. I have my spinning wheel and I have the teapot and I have peggy and now, amazingly, I have John Ferguson too.
