A.M. to Buffalo to have the car serviced. As I can not get it until late afternoon, home by bus. Fiddle around in the studio, trying out various favorite records on the Victrola phonograph. Evening, play on the phonograph in the house, my new Sibelius Fifth Symphony. It is magnificent beyond all words; I feel as tho I had never heard it before...It was startling today to see an auto covered with two inches of snow on Main Street while we have had none. I realized then what the low, dense blue-gray bank of clouds to the south meant.; The coldest day of Fall.
