Overcast

March 13. 

Quite overcast all day. Thermometer 36. .

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, March 13, 1860

Quite overcast all day. See March 20, 1860 ("The 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th were very pleasant and warm days, the thermometer standing at 50° 55° , 56° , 56°, and 51° (average 53 1/2°), - quite a spell of warm weather "); March 21, 1860 ("Colder and overcast. . . . probably not far from 40°") See also January 25, 1860 ("It may be warm or cold. Above 40° is warm for winter. . . .I will call the weather fair, if it does not threaten rain or snow or hail; foul, if it rains or snows or hails, or is so overcast that we expect one or the other from hour to hour.")

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.
