Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.85% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.15% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?

Rabbit Patch Diaries  

Visiting a rabbit patch ought to be a sweet occasion. I am on a mission to make sure this truth unfolds as naturally as stories passed between old friends. If you find any wisdom here,it probably was learned around a kitchen table-the same can be said of the whimsy. The “Rabbit Patch Diary” is my account of things that I love-Things that bring comfort and joy to my life. I am a collector of beauty in things I see, words spoken as gently as a poet lives and moments that make all the difference in the season of life. I am a mother of five beautiful children that are all grown up. I am a violinist, but I am also a writer. It’s the way I share the treasures I find . My hope is that you will find your time in the rabbit patch well-spent, and that some of its charm makes your heart glad you came.

My only plans were to get the house in perfect order.

I have been in an official routine since Monday . . . and I have lived to tell about it! I could not even sleep on Sunday night, for I was convinced I would never make it to work on time and doubted I would survive a four hour meeting, right off the bat.

It finally rained -and that changed everything. After weeks of blistering heat that wilted flowers and spirits, a cool wind blew and then the rain fell.

The fourth of July passed here, without much fanfare. Christian had to work, and besides that, our family was gathering the next day, as that was when we could all do so.

I woke on Sunday to a fair morning. The air was cool and the sky was bright. What a pleasant surprise June has been. The hateful, southern humidity has been reduced enough to make the month mock the time of early spring.

The last few days have flown by like a "whirlwind". When "the dust settled", children had graduated and a closing ceremony concluded the school year.

The days of late spring, continue to come and go in the most delightful fashion. It is a bit warmer, now, but in the absence of humidity, it is a pleasant thing to be outside.

The Sunday, that we call Mothers' Day, began with a light rain. I slept a bit later, because of that. Few things are as pleasant, as waking to rain, and no place to have to go.

Yesterday, was a big day! Yesterday was full of celebrating, food, family and surprises and commotion. I, who shy away from parties given for me, wouldn't trade yesterdays' party, for "all the kings' horses"!

I do not believe, I have ever seen a more beautiful spring, for this one lingers. Mostly, a southern spring is a few weeks of pleasant weather and then it is hot and full of humidity.

I came to Elizabeth City on Monday, in fair weather. Hundreds od blossoms adorned the lawns, the woodlands and even the roadside. The three rivers were as blue as could be and all of the world seemed to be singing.

It has become a tradition for me to complain about the time change, every year. Several days have passed and I am just now feeling a bit acclimated to the "changing of the clocks".

It is hard to say whether or not "March came in like a lion", for February made such a spectacle of itself, masquerading like the late days of April.
