A remarkably cool day.


July 24.

July 24.
Many a field where the grass has been cut shows now a fresh and very lit-up light green as you look toward the sun. 


This is a remarkably cool day. Thermometer 72° at 2 p. m.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, July 24, 1860

See July 24, 1852 (“. . .there is a short, fresh green on the shorn fields . . . the year has passed its culmination.”)

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
