The new year is almost "old news" now. Parties have ceased and supper has resumed in routine to ordinary food in ordinary dishes.

My last entry was about the beauty of "ordinary" - simplistic greatness, to me.

It is Saturday morning, early enough, that it seems like me and the mockingbird, are the only ones in the world.

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.

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.

I barely made the early service, this morning. A light rain was falling and it compelled me to linger a few extra moments.

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 was up this morning, when the territory was dark and silent. I especially wanted to see the sunrise on the snow, again.

These are the kind of days that made October famous. From the early hours til dusk, it has just been lovely. Typically, October is a flashy month, by all accounts.

Slowly, but surely the prelude to autumn glory is making its' presence known. Even the ragweed is pretty enough to write about.

The farmhouse on the rabbit patch is old . . almost a century old. It was built at a time, when real wood was used and put together with nails made of real iron.

July is not meandering-in fact, it is going along at "break neck" speed. When I was younger, July did not pass "in a twinkling", as it does now.

My furlough in Elizabeth City is coming to an end this weekend. I will travel back to the rabbit patch, where things need fixing and the territory needs mowing.

Dawn broke with a muted light. The kind of light that does not rouse the world with any sense of urgency. These kind of mornings, come "softly and tenderly" like the old hymn says Jesus calls.

I always say when I am on any sort of break, that for now. . . I am a writer! I announce it on Fridays when I come in the back door of the rabbit patch and Christian laughs every time.

The first day of winter is here, and with it "the longest evening of the year." I do not begrudge the way of winter.
