The sun has not risen over the barn just yet. At this particular moment, the first rays of light, make the barn look as holy as any church.

As soon as the world starts getting light, birds begin singing. It was not this way just a few weeks ago.

My drive home from work, takes me by quiet pastures and large expanses of fields. Parts of the trek is wooded and there is a little bridge with a curve just beyond it.

It is after Sunday dinner now, and I have noticed a new habit of mine. I like to write in the hours, after the gathering around the table.

I drive to work as the sun is coming up. I declare that the sun rising over a field of winter wheat is as beautiful as anything. Usually, the wheat fields are edged with woodland trees.

January is more like itself today. There is a cold wind blowing, pruning the winter trees and warning the daffodils all in one breath.

Lately, the days have been mild and more like April than January. The snow and ice, a few weeks ago have been about the only reason to have a "winter coat" so far.

The cover of this book is quite appropriate for what lies inside. Chasing Jubal, by Bill Thompson is a story about the journey of Jubal Simpson, a young boy growing up in the rural south, in the 1950s.

The rabbit patch has been full of shine, these last few days. Rain, and its' cousin fog, seemed to have "hightailed" it off the territory and in its' place has been bright sunlight.

My great Aunt Agnes could play the piano like she was born to do so. It seemed as natural to her as breathing.

My affair with snow is quickly on the decline. The snow that lingers around the barns, and under the pines is hardly snow at all anymore.

I am a long time admirer of "morning shine", and never so more than now, when it falls on a field of snow.

The first day of the New Year is a cold and rainy event in Elizabeth City. The little town is quiet this morning-as far as I know, I could be the only one awake from the looks around.

In late December and in the absence of Christmas, the rabbit patch is most quiet. The children went home yesterday. When the back door shut, I started missing them.

It is that time, when bells are ringing and children are singing. It is the Christmas season, the most wonderful time of the year, many say.
