a walk out on the Dennison-Harvard Bridge. Here we noticed how like Spring it was. Down in the valley a song-sparrow sang gayly. The clouds were dreamy and whimsical as after a spring rain.
Darkness brought a clear cold sky and bright moon. Then earl in the evening, even while the moon was shining, we were startled by loud thunder. In a few moments a fierce storm followed with dashing rain, hail and snow. After it was gone, a wind-storm came driving away the clouds and driving the earth.
What delightful weather!
