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

I rose early on "Fathers' Day". It was the first day, I had been at the rabbitpatch, since school had adjourned.

Yesterday, was a big day! Yesterday was full of celebrating, food, family and surprises and commotion. I, who shy away from parties given for me, wouldn't trade yesterdays' party, for "all the kings' horses"!

It is a beautiful Easter morning at the rabbit patch. The sun came up brightly and the birds have been singing their hearts out.

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.

It was late in the evening when I drove up to the rabbit patch, yesterday. The sun looked like a tangerine as it sunk behind the trees, blackened by its' light.

Not in my wildest dreams, did I expect an "early service" in July to warrant a light sweater!

After, the anniversary celebration, for my parents, yesterday, today was quiet and as ordinary as a Tuesday.

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

Mornings in June, are especially lovely. The air is cool and thick with some of the years' most beloved fragrances.

The "early service" this morning, was a gentle affair. Light fell across the territory in rays just bright enough to cast faint shadows.

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.

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

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

I was glad of many things this morning at the "early service". The last few days have just tumbled by like a merry river.

The "early service" on Sundays, feels different, for me. It seems a bit more holy.

The birds sang at the "early service" this morning-not just the steadfast mocking bird, but all of them, that call the rabbit patch, "home".

It seems "time really does fly, when you are having fun". It is a mystery to me how an entire week has already passed, in what seems like three days.

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 was raining before the day arrived. The dawn came gradually without any fanfare. The mockingbird did not proclaim the morning, either.

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

All day long, there has been sunshine on the rabbit patch. Sunshine that was bright enough to cast shadows. I have always loved the play of light and shade.

It is a quiet afternoon at the rabbit patch-an unfamiliar kind of quiet. There was no "Sunday Dinner" as daddy did not feel well this morning.

Sunday is another time I love-especially the morning, when "Sunday Dinner" is cooking. I did not plan to write in the diary this morning, but when I had put the ham in the oven and stringbeans on the stove, all sorts of thoughts came to me.

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.

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.

As soon as the sun came up, I went out to pick peaches. How sweet it felt, to be outside in pleasant conditions.
