P. M. — To Conantum.
I notice that the corner posts of the old Conantum house, which is now being pulled down, were all set butt up, and are considerably larger at that end.
I do not see this year, and I do not know that I ever have seen, any unseasonable swelling of the buds of indigenous plants in mild winters. I think that herbaceous plants show less greenness than usual this winter, having been more exposed for want of a snowy covering.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 3, 1858
I do not see . . . any unseasonable swelling of the buds of indigenous plants in mild winters. See February 6, 1853 (“Observed some buds on a young apple tree, partially unfolded at the extremity and apparently swollen. Probably blossom-buds.”)
