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?
99.02% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
0.98% 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.

Somehow, Friday became a "red letter day" for me. It all started, when my sister, Delores decided on a visit with Mama and Daddy.

School is closed due to the storm that flooded a lot of the area. The rabbit patch sits "high and dry"unscathed, thankfully.

Somehow, the week passed until it, at last it is Saturday. During the summer, one day is much like another. They feel the same, with the exception of a Sunday -Sunday always feels like Sunday.

The rabbit patch was blanketed in fog this morning. Fog, like its' cousin "snow" quiets the world. While there is fog, the world seems hushed, as if it is harboring a secret.

At the risk of sounding redundant , I will say again . . .it is raining at the rabbit patch. I am sure some record has been broken in the meteorology department, but how would I know, as cable does not work in the rain here?

It was late in the evening when I drove up to the rabbit patch, yesterday. The sun looked like a tangerine as it sunk behind the trees, blackened by its' light.

Rain continues to fall and there is "water, water everywhere". The streets are flooded on the corner by Jennys' house, so much that folks now resort to driving down the quiet lane, where the lilies grow.

On Saturday, I woke to the sound of a friendly rain. I love to wake on a silver morning with a gentle rain falling, especially, if I have no further obligation, than to listen to the watery song.

What beautiful memories I am collecting during these days by the sea. The sun comes up in a "blaze of glory" to start the day.

Every month comes bearing their own unique gifts to the season. I thought of that, this morning, at the "early service", for I found myself having a sense of dread, to open the back door.

On Friday, Jenny and I packed up and left Elizabeth City. Jenny does not travel lightly, as I do, for she has Lyla and a dog, too.

The mimosa blooms today as it did, years ago, when I was just twenty two years old. I remember sitting under a mimosa, the day before Brant was born.
