October 22.
The pines, both white and pitch, have now shed their leaves, and the ground in the pine woods is strewn with the newly fallen needles.
The fragrant life everlasting is still fresh, and the Canada snapdragon still blooms bluely by the roadside.
The rain and dampness have given birth to a new crop of mushrooms.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 22, 1851
The ground in the pine woods is strewn with the newly fallen needles. See October 25, 1853 (“The ground is strewn with pine-needles as sunlight.”)
The Canada snapdragon still blooms bluely by the roadside. See October 22 1858 ("On the top of the Cliff . . . very handsome Aster undulatus, and an abundance of the little blue snapdragon.")
