At this chaotic and fearful time, when things seem "up in the air" . . . spring came early, like an old friend showing up in the "nick of time."

It is early morning now and pitch dark at the rabbitpatch. I seldom let an opportunity to complain about "changing the clocks" go by.

The days after the gathering on Monday, have been very quiet. I woke early on Christmas morning and sat while light came to the rabbitpatch.

A lot happened on Saturday at the rabbitpatch. First of all, there was not a single branch left on the territory, by the time the sun set.

Suddenly it is October! I know because the mailbox was stacked full of bills.

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.

It rained last night. Evening showers came and "settled the dust", revived the countryside and cooled the air.

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.

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.

Sunshine has been scarce the last dew days. Spring is full of flowers - and rain.

Monday was a beautiful day. The sun shone faintly, a slight breeze blew and the air was mild.

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".

Friday is never a dull day when I am working. It is easier to get up in the morning, no matter the conditions . . .for it is Friday!

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

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.

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.

Is there a happier time in your life, than when a baby is born? Oh how good it is to write, that Jenny and little Brynn are home and all is well.

Another beautiful "early service" arrived this morning. There was a cool breeze blowing, that delivered the sweet fragrance of early morning.

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.

The "early service" on Tuesday morning was a peaceful affair. A very slight breeze brought the faint smells of summer, with it.

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.

There is a rabbit family that lives in the "Quiet Garden". This morning three of the bunnies attended the "early service".

Friday was the last day of school and so I am now officially at liberty to "do mostly, as I please" for a good while. I was in Elizabeth City within a few hours of dismissal.
