A Book of the Seasons: February 18. (February moods)

February 18.

The ground bare of snow

gathering nuts and apples

colors red and green.

February 18, 1851

Mosses on the rocks

look green where snow has melted--

one of the spring signs.

February 18, 1852

It is so warm that

I walk over the hill and

listen for spring birds.

February 18, 1857

A cloud in the west

can change the whole character

of the afternoon.

February 18, 1860
