October 31, 2024

Rain; still warm. 

Ever since October 27th we have had remarkably warm and pleasant Indian summer, with frequent frosts in the morning. Sat with open window for a week.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 31, 1854

Ever since October 27th we have had remarkably warm and pleasant Indian summer. See October 31, 1858 ("It is a fine day, Indian-summer-like, and there is considerable gossamer on the causeway and blowing from all trees. ") See also October 21, 1855 ("I sit with an open window, it is so warm."); October 22, 1854 ("This and the last two days Indian-summer weather, following hard on that sprinkling of snow west of Concord. Pretty hard frosts these nights."); October 25, 1854 (" A beautiful, calm Indian-summer afternoon, the withered reeds on the brink reflected in the water. ") ; October 26, 1854 ("As warm as summer. Cannot wear a thick coat. Sit with windows open. ") and A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, Indian Summer

Frosts in the mornings –
