It is cool today and windier. The water is rippled considerably. At this season we seek warm sunny lees and hillsides, as that under the pitch pines by Walden shore, where we cuddle and warm ourselves in the sun as by a fire, where we may get some of its reflected as well as direct heat.
The blue-stemmed and white goldenrod apparently survive till winter, -push up and blossom anew.
And a few oak leaves in sheltered nooks do not wither.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 26, 1852
