A wonderful spring day. The sun springs up in the morning with a blinding glare – The west sky is a deep blue – trees stand stark & bold, vivid orange & yellow with deep vo branches; houses glow with color; their eaves are aglitter with gay circles; it is a morning for brave thoughts & physical exultation.
Charles E. Burchfield, March 23, 1922
