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