In 1946 I said to my Mama, "Mama, how come other people have Porch Chairs and we don't?" My Mama said to me, "My dear, we don’t have a porch besides you have got to learn to not want so much. I do promise you this. If Television is ever invented, we might get you one."

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.
