The unusual warm sunny weather continues.

ZIMMERMAN RD.
P.M. To Zimmerman Road painting. Again in the swampy (dry now) tract enclosed on thru the constant hum of insects; millions of tiny flies, sunlit – Paint all afternoon. It is a constant struggle from beginning to end.
After a leisurely “lunch” for a walk down the road again as on Tuesday. Tonight it seemed even more pregnant with powerful moods – I made pencil notes.
On the return home I stopped on the “Big Sap” Hill to listen to the katydids. They were so numerous & so loud, they made the ears ring. Made studies of the Milky Way & the two constellations in the S.W.
