To my readers, it must seem that I travel all the time, but my husband and I stayed home for almost two months before we went to see my sister in New Orleans in February.

Last night, it snowed at the rabbit patch. It was merely a dusting, but schools had a two hour delay on account of it.

The following story was written, not long after Christian was born-now twenty-five years ago. Do not let the term "fairy" fool you, for this is a true story. I was there and this is my account.

How often do you take the time to let someone know they've made a difference in your life, that something they did or said influenced you? Conversely, how often does someone tell you what you mean to them?

The wind gusts yesterday were over fifty and they blew all day long. The river, in the small town, where I work has been blown off its' course. No longer is what lies beneath it, a secret.

Against all odds, the mild spring- like weather does linger. I do not believe there is a daffodil left, that did not take advantage of the conditions . . . for they are blooming in great numbers.

It remains unseasonably warm, so much that the flowers meant for March are making their presence known. There are reported sightings of daffodils and hyacinths - and I have seen first hand the spirea.

My loyal readers of the "rabbit patch diary" know full well my plight with baking cookies. I have had all sorts of disasters.

The "early service" was a quiet and peaceful affair, today. A soft glow in the sky heralded the new day.

The windows are up at the rabbit patch and the birds are singing. Daffodils are beginning to sprout, but I am too old to be fooled, at least by this . . .It is February.

Wow! Who knew there was a National Love Your Pet Day? I sure didn't, but then Lord Banjo is loved each and every day. Do humans really need to be reminded to love their pets?

Some of my favorite hours have always been in the kitchen. As a small child, I spent a good deal of my childhood in fields and woods.

I barely made the early service, this morning. A light rain was falling and it compelled me to linger a few extra moments.

Congress passes laws and then promptly forgets about them (goes to Happy Hour). We can't forget about them because we are being suffocated by them.

With yesterday, being February first, I said "rabbit" a lot. A friend introduced me to this custom many years ago.

It was raining before the day arrived. The dawn came gradually without any fanfare. The mockingbird did not proclaim the morning, either.

I attended the early service, today, - the last Saturday in January. The morning was cold and still, but a mockingbird sang, anyway.

Jennys' birthday, dawned bright and clear, much like the day she was born. Lyla and I sang "Happy Birthday" several times before breakfast. Lyla wanted a cake and party hats to confirm the occasion, at breakfast.

It started snowing in the late evening, yesterday. Today, when light came to the rabbit patch, the territory looked like a post card from a place like "New England" or my friend "Fayes' Iowa".

There has been no need to build a fire as of lately, at the " rabbit patch". Instead, the window, by the morning table, is raised.
