June 30.
A. M. — To Ball's Hill.
June 30, 2017 |
Yesterday afternoon it was remarkably cool, with wind, it being easterly, and I anticipated a sea-turn. There was a little, a blue mistiness, ere long.
The coolness continues, and this morning the sky is full of clouds, but they look to me like dog-day clouds and not rain-threatening.
It does not rain.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, June 30, 1857
Remarkably cool, with wind, it being easterly, and I anticipated a sea-turn. See June 30, 1859 ("Cooler, with a northerly wind."); June 30,1855 ("2 P. M. -- Thermometer north side of house, 95°") See also April 28, 1856(" ...on our return the wind changed to easterly, and I felt the cool, fresh sea-breeze."); April 30, 1856 ("at one o’clock there was the usual fresh easterly wind and sea-turn . . .and a fresh cool wind from the sea produces a mist in the air.")
