Ah, yes a "veranda" is the proper term, but I've only heard that used with more palatial homes, but you're right! Thanks for identifying the tree, as I was not sure what it is! I have a much-smaller cedar tree here, which I have never bothered to identify; now, you've made me want to do that! LOL! Yes, they put a very few white-colored minature lights up, but keep it classy-looking! Thanks for the informative comment! 😊
