May 28, 2017

Rain again in the night, and this forenoon, more or less. In some places the ground is strewn with apple blossoms, quite concealing it, as white and thick as if a snow-storm had occurred.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, May 28, 1857

Apple blossoms . . . as white and thick as if a snow-storm had occurred. See May 28, 1855 (“The apple bloom is very rich now.”); May 27 1852 ("The road is white with the apple blossoms fallen off, as with snowflakes.”); May 27, 1857 ("This is blossom week, beginning last Sunday (the 24th).”); and note to May 25, 1852 (It is blossom week with the apples.”).

out-of-doors, in its own locality."
