One inch of snow.


February 14.


About one inch of snow falls.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, February 14, 1858

See November 18, 1855 ("About an inch of snow fell last night."); January 14, 1860 ("About an inch more snow fell this morning."); February 9, 1858 ("Begins to snow at noon, and about one inch falls, whitening the ground.");  February 13, 1859 ("A dry, powdery snow about one inch deep, from which, as I walk toward the sun, this perfectly clear, bright afternoon, at 3.30 o’clock, the colors of the rainbow are reflected from a myriad fine facets.")

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.
