November 6.
Surveying on Colburn place.
It is suddenly cold. Pools frozen so as to bear, and ground frozen so that it is difficult, if not impossible, to force down a stake in plowed ground.
Was that a fish hawk I saw flying over the Assabet, or a goshawk? White beneath, with slender wings.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, November 6, 1854
It is suddenly cold. Pools frozen so as to bear. . . See November 19, 1855 (" A cold, gray day, once spitting snow. Water froze in tubs enough to bear last night. ")
