The last few days have flown by like a "whirlwind". When "the dust settled", children had graduated and a closing ceremony concluded the school year.

The days of late spring, continue to come and go in the most delightful fashion. It is a bit warmer, now, but in the absence of humidity, it is a pleasant thing to be outside.

The Sunday, that we call Mothers' Day, began with a light rain. I slept a bit later, because of that. Few things are as pleasant, as waking to rain, and no place to have to go.

Yesterday, was a big day! Yesterday was full of celebrating, food, family and surprises and commotion. I, who shy away from parties given for me, wouldn't trade yesterdays' party, for "all the kings' horses"!

I do not believe, I have ever seen a more beautiful spring, for this one lingers. Mostly, a southern spring is a few weeks of pleasant weather and then it is hot and full of humidity.

I came to Elizabeth City on Monday, in fair weather. Hundreds od blossoms adorned the lawns, the woodlands and even the roadside. The three rivers were as blue as could be and all of the world seemed to be singing.

It has become a tradition for me to complain about the time change, every year. Several days have passed and I am just now feeling a bit acclimated to the "changing of the clocks".

It is hard to say whether or not "March came in like a lion", for February made such a spectacle of itself, masquerading like the late days of April.

It was not raining when I woke on Sunday. There was a bit of wind rattling the bare oak branches and the sky was that now familiar, pale pewter color.

It is Friday again and it seems it was just Friday, a few days ago! Here we are in the "short rows" of winter, already. I notice that seasons, now seem but a few weeks, and the years zip pass, too.

A lot of people declare that January is the longest month. I suspect that the commotion in December and the New Year celebrations causes us to get used to a state of perpetual motion.

So far, today is an ordinary day . . . of course, it is only mid morning. It has been weeks since, a day went along as it usually does, without an agenda-or a single plan.
