April 2, 1917 -
At noon the rare phenomenon of steam rising from ground –
The sky opens to west a high wind-dashing rain – the sun comes on – Steams pours in ragged tatters upwards Trees + roofs glitter with a brilliant silver light
A cherry Tree with a silver streak down center of Trunk –
Big loose straight layer clouds sweep from NW – Sidewalks are polka dotted with maple bloom –
