Wake up in the morning Brew a pot of coffee Fix me a cup and grab a doughnut as I go outside to sit on my front porch As I sit in my wicker rocking chair drinking my coffee and eating my chocolate doughnut I look at what surrounds me on this beautifully sunny day I watch as the bee buzzes around the flowers on my front porch Landing gently on each one pollenating and making sure the life of the flower goes on Looking up I see a little humming bird sipping the sugar water from the feeder Such a small creation but very beautiful indeed I smell the air briefly The smell of fresh cow pies as the sun bakes it in the heat of a summer morning Oh how I love taking in all the nature that surrounds me sitting on my front porch It is something that even in old age I will continue to enjoy When the family is together, the soul is at peace - Russian Proverb |

I used to have a front porch to sit on and I can recall enjoying most of the thoughts you bring forth in this piece ... can't say as though I'd enjoy cow pies on my porch though  |

You lost me immediately after you brought up the subject of chocolate doughnut. I kept reading, yes I did, but all I could see and imagine was that darn doughnut. ~ Clones are people two ~ |

I soaked in the ambiance of this gem, Julie, loving every moment of it, and yes, unlike, Rex, the cow pies too. Giggles at Jerry and the chocolate doughnut. Julie, this is a superb way to start off the day. I hope you are able to end it there too, every day. Owl |

sometimes I think we can't really appreciate such things until we get old enough to understand how precious all things are...oh, btw, do you have any glazed ones... |

Rex- Thank you for your comment. LOL Cow pies do stink but it brings back memories of travelling to go see grandma in Pennsylvania. Jerry - LOL Your comment made me laugh. The doughnut and coffee is perfect for viewing nature. Owl - Thank you for your sweet comment. I shall try to end it there everyday. steavenr - LOL I could round you up a glazed doughnut but I might have to go to Dunkin. LOL When the family is together, the soul is at peace - Russian Proverb |

Carpe Doughnut! Grab me a glazed while you're there. The cow pie brings back memories of grandpa and grandma's farm. Porches are the best (weather permitting) Lori |

More giggles at Steaven and Lori. Glad you will try to end every day there too, Julie. What perfect days those ones will be! Owl |
