On My Veranda---What I Experience

Oak trees, dark or sunny sky,		
Neighbors waving, passing by,

Music of the buzzing bees,
Young ones playing as they please,

Varied colors seasons bring,
Ecstasy of birds that sing,
Roaming strays, both dogs and cats,
Active squirrels, dancing gnats,
Nature’s grand, diverse array,        
Divers sights and sounds each day--      
All God’s glory on display!


divers--pronounced die' verz

Thanks so much, Carolyn. My PORCH actually fits the definition of a veranda, but if folks around here who have known me for decades heard me call it a veranda, they'd think I was nuts! LOL!
