Charles Burchfield, Journals, April 28, 1939

A.M. planted bloodroot under spirea bushes in front of the house.

To the Varysburg country.

A cold day with heavy, gray clouds from the north.

Too tired to do any painting – a few pencil studies.

To Dutch Hollow, - to visit a woods south of the village.  A beautiful spot – unkept land with huge elms and dense evergreen groves, with a torturously winding stream.

After lunch dig yellow violets for Berthas centerpiece box.  A fine mist falling; the distant hill to the east obscured by low-hanging fog-like clouds.

Home early.
