A warm sun with damp cool shadows - ; A steam was on the air today. Doan Brook falls are frothing white + the ice crumbles – I saw five bluebirds at late afternoon in the misty sunset time – They glowed brilliantly – Cats are abroad in this season in their love-making. The courtships are very amusing and peculiar, but similar to that of all animals – there being the same impetuosity of the of the male, and the pretended reluctance of the – female.
A huge ring around the moon –
