A snow gloom morning –
P.M. To Washingtonville by way of Millville –
Washingtonville a masterpiece of caricature – buildings, houses, people & site even – (The “Corner grocery” and lovers “kidding” each other)
Homeward in the dusk; black farmhouses set amid frightful black orchards —
Trolley makes a big blue green star along the wire, seen thru a long screen of trees, it twinkles like the sun as we see it walking along a picket fence.
Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, January 5, 1918
