Black frost




September 28, 2020

This morning we had a very severe frost, the first to kill our vines, etc., in garden; what you may call a black frost, - making things look black. Also ice under pump.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, September 28, 1860

A very severe frost . . .ice under pump. See September 15, 1851 ("Ice in the pail under the pump, and quite a frost.")

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.
