It is hard to believe that we are in the twilight of April. April with its' "showers that bring us May flowers" also brought us ample sunshine , enough to make the wild violets bloom.

The "crack of dawn" comes a lot earlier than it used too. I wake with light, by nature, and unless it is raining, I am ready to "find my day." It is early now, and the light is still soft at the rabbit patch.

By mid week, at the rabbit patch, routine has "set in" comfortably. Thankfully, for me, variations are few and far between.

On Saturday night, I was in the rabbit patch kitchen- the same could be said of Sunday morning. This past Sunday, was no ordinary Sunday. It was Mothers' Day, after all.

Yesterdays' "morning shine" did not last long at the rabbit patch. By mid-morning, clouds covered the land making the chilly breeze almost cold.

Schools are closed today, due to stormy weather. The rabbit patch is wet and puddles stand all about the territory.

May is known as "the sweetest month" and so far, there is no denying that. This is the longest spring, that I remember in a long while.

It is Sunday morning. Birds are singing their morning songs. Farm Life is quiet and peaceful as it always is on a Sunday.

I always say when I am on any sort of break, that for now. . . I am a writer! I announce it on Fridays when I come in the back door of the rabbit patch and Christian laughs every time.

The diary of any gardener will have many chapters over a lifetime. They will span many topics and be full of accounts of good years and not so good years.

Evenings in the springtime are especially nice at the rabbit patch. There is a time just after supper and just before the first stars start shining that comes in softly and leaves in the same way.

I do love week end mornings at the rabbit patch. Though sometimes, I will sleep a few minutes later, often, I don't.

I have been "Honeybee" for two years now. Lyla had her second birthday on April fifth. She was born on Easter Sunday just as I was putting the turkey on a platter for Sunday dinner.

It looks like somebody lives at the rabbit patch today. Kyle and I worked yesterday, the better part of the day, restoring order to the territory.

Today, outside the window, just floating in the air. I saw a "flock of dainty wings", and went to see them there.

I smelled rain, when I went out this morning. Showers came about an hour later and didn't surprise me. The house was as silent as an empty church. What a contrast to the night before, I thought.

I did not see the sun rise this morning. Most days, I do. It felt odd to wake to "a bright and shining moment" on the rabbit patch.

The Mockingbird has sung his morning hymn, and the sun has risen over the barn, making the old shabby thing look holy.
