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

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.

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

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!

A lot of people declare that January is the longest month. I suspect that the commotion in December and the New Year celebrations causes us to get used to a state of perpetual motion.

Today is the first day, of spring break. Beyond me lies a whole week to meander through and do what I deem fit.

It is almost April and still, we wait for tulips. The evenings in March still warrant a blanket and frost blankets the fields of winter wheat, in the first hours, of the day.

Last night, it snowed at the rabbit patch. It was merely a dusting, but schools had a two hour delay on account of it.

Night lifted and the day was born-that is how the "morning service" went today.

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.

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.

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

Today is far from ordinary, at the rabbit patch. On this day, three decades ago, I became a mother. My oldest son, Brant was born on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, while the mimosa trees were blooming.

It is hard to believe that we are in the twilight of April. April with its' "showers that bring us May flowers" also brought us ample sunshine , enough to make the wild violets bloom.

It looks like somebody lives at the rabbit patch today. Kyle and I worked yesterday, the better part of the day, restoring order to the territory.

It is officially spring. I do not consult a calendar to know when the seasons change.

I smelled rain, when I went out this morning. Showers came about an hour later and didn't surprise me. The house was as silent as an empty church. What a contrast to the night before, I thought.

This is the coldest morning of the year-the coldest morning in many years, actually.

The weather at the rabbit patch is mild, though it is early winter. Today, I have a few windows up.
