Fine, clear Indian-summer weather.



October 14.

Friday.

A Mr. Farquhar of Maryland came to see me; spent the day and the night.

Fine, clear Indian-summer weather.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, October 14, 1853

Fine, clear Indian-summer. See October 14, 1857 ("Another, the tenth of these memorable days . . .
It is indeed a golden autumn. These ten days are enough to make the reputation of any climate."); October 14, 1859 ("A fine Indian-summer day. The 6th and 10th were quite cool, and any particularly warm days since may be called Indian summer.") See also A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, Indian Summer

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
