Grey smoky November – a cool morning – yellow + ochre rifts in sky that sweeps from N.W. at tiues silver sun in low S.E. Heavy yellow haze –
My brother was speaking of Grafton, a small town near Leetonia, - how formerly it was dangerous for a stranger to come into town – strangely enough it added interest to the small town; how a foreign race turned loose here becomes wild + new.
P.M. a sketch outdoors to “ready” myself for Sunday’s task.
The sounds – what an Elysian feeling about the telegraph harp...
Walked out from concert at the scattered finish of a light shower. A bright color western sky - blue violet clouds crimson edged salmon-orange clouds to south. Sky in low west at dark becoming orange.
Chilly with a stormy overcast sky – rain most of the night –
Flowers still blooming on, if diminishing in numbers and splendor – the longest we have ever gone without a killing frost.
Evening – “Tricks or Treats” youngsters in Halloween costumes.
A beautiful Fall day. Drove home from church by way of Girdle and Bullis Rd. The lovely pond near E. Aurora.
P.M. sketch of view showing gable end of studio, our house & fence-row – brilliant October sunlight emotion.
Letter from Ohio University (Athens, O.) asking me to teach two weeks... & serve on a jury. ... Seems as if I should accept.
