As we approach the summer solstice our brief taste of tropical weather begins – heavy moist windless heat saturates the earth – the rank meadows reek with hot buttercups –
I sit with the children in the shade of a small tree surrounded by wide fields – not a cloud in the sky, the early afternoon sun pours down infinite light and heat –
Charles E. Burchfield, March 24, 1931
