Summer is a great time for relaxing outside and what better way to do that than with a porch swing? How about if you had several porch swings all surrounding a campfire – then you could do the relaxing outside thing all through the year. There is a great DIY campfire idea that has porch swings all around it. Not only could you relax but you could invite all of your friends or family to come join you in your own little paradise.
