Another wonderful day. The morning dawns clear with an orange glow precluding the dazzling sun. It is a fine sap-day. Noonwards the sweeps of clouds commences; they are whiter and fleecier that yesterday’s.
I paint all day. Afternoon water-color sketch out of the window.
The night is beautiful. Cold moon, dark sky sparsely starred; sweep of icy white clouds out of the inexhaustible northwest.
