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.

Sometimes one day turns into another, in an ordinary fashion. I strive to have as many of those as I can.

The last few days have been cold. Nights are below freezing and in the day, we southeners, now don our "winter coats".

I got up this morning at five, as is my habit. The world was pitch dark and a brisk wind was blowing

It was nice to have a few days off - and I made the most of it. I came to Elizabeth City and spent my time doing the things that I hold dearest, rocking Brynn, playing with Lyla and cooking.

The grass is greener at the "rabbit patch" these days. Part of it may be due to the drenching rains in May.

There has been no need to build a fire as of lately, at the " rabbit patch". Instead, the window, by the morning table, is raised.

I attended the early service in Elizabeth City, on Saturday. I had a lot of company, for it to be such a cold winter morning.

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.

It is officially spring. I do not consult a calendar to know when the seasons change.

I smelled rain, when I went out this morning. Showers came about an hour later and didn't surprise me. The house was as silent as an empty church. What a contrast to the night before, I thought.

February will decide the fate of the daffodils and everything else that blooms in early spring.

I drive to work as the sun is coming up. I declare that the sun rising over a field of winter wheat is as beautiful as anything. Usually, the wheat fields are edged with woodland trees.

Lately, the days have been mild and more like April than January. The snow and ice, a few weeks ago have been about the only reason to have a "winter coat" so far.

I woke up this Sunday before Christmas, in Elizabeth City. I am usually the first one to wake, no matter, the roof I am under, and today was no different.

Once again, I left after school on Friday for Elizabeth City. Sometimes, things just work out. We do not have classes Monday or Tuesday , and it just seemed I was destined to see Lyla wear little wings and wave a wand about, on Halloween

Snow has blossomed all around. The cotton fields are white. With a little imagination, a cotton field, this time of year, looks like the remnants of a snowfall

Sometimes, there are idle hours at the rabbit patch-I make certain of it. "Idle" doesn't always mean time without purpose, sometimes it means frivolous or easy.
