Toward evening a stagnant grey sky looms up...The skyline vibrates –
Unable to sleep last night – anxious for today’s trip to the woods; and mulling over the problem of teaching. Finally B heard me + came in – it was good to pour out my troubles to her sympathetic ear
Stop at Albright [Art Gallery] to see [Phil] Elliott – had he given the faintest hint of wanting to discontinue the Saturday class, I would have gone along with him – but he seemed to want to finish out the course [at the Albright Art School]. We agreed on the class meeting at Blossom to the whole day this coming Saturday.
Endless sweep of cold overlapping clouds all day – at evening the sky splits and the sun burst thru in orange light – the robins ring. Late at night it was snowing.
A wet snow falling all day - there was no wind, it fell straight down - such a snowfall has a hypnotic power over the watcher.
As I looked at the ring around the moon it became a huge opening in the sky, beyond which was another world –
For a walk, taking my lunch (some for Spotty too) in my knapsack.
"Fine rain at times – trees made patterns against the sky...The romance of Sat & Moon is gone so quickly."
Cold, but mostly sunny – Strong S.W. wind –
Lowering skies — sometimes wet snow – Each day I stop to contemplate the downy bowed heads of the hepaticas, half-hidden under the leaves – there they wait humbly for their cue to lift their heads....
