To the Veranda

To the Veranda
it's the go-to place on hot summer days

Sunday

Cool Breezes on still nights


The front entry leads to a covered veranda that draws a cool breeze on the warmest of summer evenings.

Hear the peepers in early spring...but wear a warm sweater...watch the ducks on the river...perhaps trailed by a new group of young...see a fisherman pursue an elusive fish...see the busy muskrat or a flock of Canada Geese land for the night...cattle grazing on the meadow...observe the pheasants wander to the river for water with their newly hatched family in tow...a hawk or Bald Eagle on the hunt...

After dark the stars will entertain...perhaps a passing plane or even a satellite...and yes the moon or a shower of meteorites...and never leave the comfort of home. Tantalize your senses at any time...day or night....from the melody of a favorite wind chime to a mourning dove...a blush of lilac to the feel of peace...that one place where for a moment in time, all is well...
