Lyla turned four years old on Thursday. On Friday, Tres picked me up after school and we were on the way to Elizabeth City to celebrate.

The early service on Sunday, was lovely. A light fog hung over the territory, like a fine linen.

The "early service", was especially beautiful. The territory was washed in silver and I felt privy to something very special.

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 this Sunday, I woke to the delightful sound of a steady, gently falling rain. I had slept soundly, after a busy Saturday.

I attended the early service, today, - the last Saturday in January. The morning was cold and still, but a mockingbird sang, anyway.

November has come to the rabbit patch in a friendly fashion. Days are born slowly with fog and make the territory look enchanted, for a while.

It is morning and the sun is proclaiming it brightly. I love weekend mornings for they are born without haste. I do not consult the clock on days like Saturday.

On Saturday, I made the "early service". It was both beautiful and glorious.

I left school on Friday and headed for Elizabeth City. I had not seen Lyla in almost three weeks, and it felt like longer. I had bought a full tank of gas on Thursday, as already some stations were out of it.

I made the "early service" this morning. I saw for myself, the birth of the day. It was nothing short of grand. . .and it never fails to stir my heart. For me, the sunrise is a holy time.

I am beginning to "sound like a broken record" . . . but, it is raining at the rabbit patch.

I did not see the sun rise this morning. Most days, I do. It felt odd to wake to "a bright and shining moment" on the rabbit patch.

The sun is up at the rabbit patch, and the wind is brisk and has a chill.

Friday morning dawned with crisp air that snapped with song birds calling out to one another

In small ways, autumn is making its' presence known. Mornings are cool and dimly lit. Nightfall comes earlier, ending days of fog and mist.
