A calm sunny day, with temperature in the low 40’s –
Some time ago on a walk with H— [Alice erased]. I asked him [her erased] if any knew just what a prayer was, and declared that if I stopped to admire or sketch a tree, it was more of a prayer than meaningless phrases mumbled in a church. I was delighted a moment ago to find the same thought in Emerson’s Self-Reliance.
Another beautiful unreal day—warmer and the sun shining clear and warm from a cloudless sky.
B & I to Buffalo shopping—cold with snowflurries(sic)—A fine Christmas feeling—Lunch at Laube’s Cafeteria.
I lay cramped, filled with pessimistic thoughts about my life and work –
The rain turned to snow in the night...
We’re having a rather hard snow-storm to-day...
Afterwards to Orchard Park for a snack.
Pale far away grey morning – Earth + Sky one – The sky is blueish grey at bottom but lighter warmer grey above–
Snow in the night and a quiet beautiful fall of snow this morning – all is white, and it seems truly like the old fashioned Thanksgiving Day…
