Monday, Jul 1, 2013
Following two days of cold numbing weather, July opens with a cool rainy day. The sky is downcast. The rain comes down evenly + quietly. A cool breeze stirs the sluggish air. There is nothing dispiriting about this rain. The sky is continually brightening westward.
At noon hear a redbird sing several times.
Charles E. Burchfield, July 1, 1914
