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?
98.9% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.1% 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.

I came to Elizabeth City, on Friday, after school with high hopes, of all sorts. The drive was really beautiful.

It was not raining when I woke on Sunday. There was a bit of wind rattling the bare oak branches and the sky was that now familiar, pale pewter color.

It is Friday again and it seems it was just Friday, a few days ago! Here we are in the "short rows" of winter, already. I notice that seasons, now seem but a few weeks, and the years zip pass, too.

I drove home, from Elizabeth City, a bit later in the day, than I usually do, on Sunday.

Friday has a different "feel" to it, in months like February, when the school year is in full swing.

I am not sure whether it was "Beginners' Luck" or what . . . but I made apple dumplings that are good enough to brag about.

There is a heavy frost this morning. The morning sunshine causes it it to sparkle and glisten, as if it were a field of crystals.

A lot of people declare that January is the longest month. I suspect that the commotion in December and the New Year celebrations causes us to get used to a state of perpetual motion.

So far, today is an ordinary day . . . of course, it is only mid morning. It has been weeks since, a day went along as it usually does, without an agenda-or a single plan.

The Rabbitpatch was quiet on Christmas morning. Christian had to work an early shift, Will and Jenny were home with the children, of course . . well everybody was somewhere else.

Every river I crossed was just a little more blue than the sky. The detour was still active, and this made the trip a bit longer, but still I managed to get there before twilight.

For just a little while, fluffy flakes fell, til a few inches had accumulated. People either love or hate snow, in the south. I love it.

One day turned into another, until somehow, a week had passed. There were all sorts of things going on. Daddy had doctor appointments, there was work and last but not least, the business of selling the rabbit patch.

I spent this weekend at the rabbit patch, in Farm Life, amongst the old trees, the young woods and the abandoned little pasture. It has been a long while since I was here on a weekend.

The first thing I did this morning, was to put the windows down. I heard the wind rev up before day break. The wind nearly howled and a hail storm of acorns made an awful racket, on the old farmhouse.

The October climate deserves a crown. For the last few weeks, any given day could have been a post card-with bragging rights.
