Back at the rabbitpatch, all was well. The boxer did his "homecoming dance" and Christopher Robin "sang for his supper" as he always does, the minute I arrive.

After a lovely weekend in Elizabeth City, some sort of plague has set in, disturbing the peace of the rabbitpatch.

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.

It was not raining when I woke on Sunday. There was a bit of wind rattling the bare oak branches and the sky was that now familiar, pale pewter color.

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

Friday has a different "feel" to it, in months like February, when the school year is in full swing.

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

The wind gusts yesterday were over fifty and they blew all day long. The river, in the small town, where I work has been blown off its' course. No longer is what lies beneath it, a secret.

It remains unseasonably warm, so much that the flowers meant for March are making their presence known. There are reported sightings of daffodils and hyacinths - and I have seen first hand the spirea.

The spirea has tiny little blossoms, at the rabbit patch. A few of the azaleas do too. The roses are still blooming-and why not?

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.

The Mockingbird has sung his morning hymn, and the sun has risen over the barn, making the old shabby thing look holy.

As soon as the world starts getting light, birds begin singing. It was not this way just a few weeks ago.

My drive home from work, takes me by quiet pastures and large expanses of fields. Parts of the trek is wooded and there is a little bridge with a curve just beyond it.
