Most of my regular readers know that I almost sold the rabbitpatch, not once, but twice in the last two years.

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.

At this chaotic and fearful time, when things seem "up in the air" . . . spring came early, like an old friend showing up in the "nick of time."

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

I used to have a lot of animals, here at the rabbitpatch. I had a miniature horse, miniature goats, chickens, doves, that came and went as they pleased and a lot of rabbits.

Saturday was the day of Mamas' birthday gathering. Her birthday is on Tuesday, but it is much easier to gather on a weekend.

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

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

The days after the gathering on Monday, have been very quiet. I woke early on Christmas morning and sat while light came to the rabbitpatch.

Now, it is winter. It matters little to me what the calendar declares, for I know winter when I see it.

Let me declare, right now, that this may be one of the loveliest autumns, the south has ever seen.

A cold rain has been falling for days. One night, there was a slight chance of snow and you know I had my heart set on it-but nary a flake fell at the rabbitpatch.

For now the woodlands are tinged with shades of gold and crimson ... and the sprawling fields are warm shades of russet and ginger.

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.

A light rain was falling on Wednesday, in the hours before light. It did not come as a surprise, for I had heard the forecast.

School started back today for us. The hurricane may have littered our yards and sadly taken a few trees, but we fared good, compared to our neighbors, on the coast.

A lot can happen in a short time. The last few days bears witness to that. Since, I rarely watch the news, the fact that a hurricane was coming came as quite a shock to me.
