At noon half sunlight
 Hazy stagnant flat bottomed clouds in yellow grey smeary sky – green grass vibrates + glows – strange combination with dusty orange houses

                                                                May 1 1917 –
 A cold day – High wind out of SW – blue bottomed ochre clouds before sunrise – dandelion greens –
 This chilly thunder that looms over the emerald wind-whipped turf – 
 The bitterly cold wind whirls dust to obscure bases –
At late dusk in woods
