It is early Saturday morning at the rabbit patch. Coffee is brewing and I have made a small fire in the little fireplace by the morning table.

The sun did not cast a shadow today. I wore a coat on Thursday-and I was not sorry for that.

It is a quiet afternoon at the rabbit patch-an unfamiliar kind of quiet. There was no "Sunday Dinner" as daddy did not feel well this morning.

November has come to the rabbit patch in a friendly fashion. Days are born slowly with fog and make the territory look enchanted, for a while.

It is Sunday and almost late afternoon. It was raining before sunrise,and it is still raining now. The rain is falling steadily, as it has all day. No one in these parts ought to complain as it has been a long while since we have had a rainy day-and besides, rain makes the loveliest sound.

I have at long last, attended another "early service". Week days do not afford such luxury. There is too much commotion on days like Tuesday, at the rabbit patch.

Fried cornbread is a staple in the south. It may be elsewhere too -and masquerading by some other name, for all I know.

This day has been nothing short of glorious. The cold wind and rain have passed and were replaced with warm golden light that lit the trees up.

What's not to like about a rock 'n roll concert at an intimate venue? One that's easy to get to, with free parking, and a drinks truck offering fun mixed drinks along with wine and beer?

The days have been mostly bright and the nights have been cool and very dark. Of course, there was the beautiful "harvest moon" and since then the sky has been splattered with shining silver stars.

Sunday is another time I love-especially the morning, when "Sunday Dinner" is cooking. I did not plan to write in the diary this morning, but when I had put the ham in the oven and stringbeans on the stove, all sorts of thoughts came to me.

It is morning and the sun is proclaiming it brightly. I love weekend mornings for they are born without haste. I do not consult the clock on days like Saturday.

These are the kind of days that made October famous. From the early hours til dusk, it has just been lovely. Typically, October is a flashy month, by all accounts.

Sunday dawned fair. I was driving to the grocery store, not long after the day was born. I was having company for breakfast!

Slowly, but surely the prelude to autumn glory is making its' presence known. Even the ragweed is pretty enough to write about.

Daybreak was especially beautiful this morning . . I know because I was there, at the "early service" on the rabbit patch. The sky was a deep apricot color and seemed to light the fields. I am always hopeful at sunrise.

On Thursday night, I saw the stars over the rabbit patch. I had not seen them, due to clouds, for the better part of a week. I had missed the silver belt of Orion-and the friendly Dog Stars.

Monday morning dawned fair in Wilmington. I sat on the porch of my son, Tres' cottage, near downtown in the first hours of light, in the company of his kittens, "Hank" and "Jolene".

My husband and I have a vacation to Colorado coming up, and one of my long-time girlfriends is joining us. It all started when Beverly declared she wanted to have a destination birthday party for a milestone birthday.
