Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, August 22, 1913

Morning dawned with rain. Sky was covered with big loose misty windblown clouds, a characteristic of late August and early September. This was a mushroomy morning. Once the sun attempted to come forth but the clouds only scowled the more darkly than ever. By noon they had commenced ever so slightly to become more compact looking and were carried swiftly along by a stiff rainy wind. Trees waving with fluttering leaves before a misty sky held a special beauty.
