Monday - Sept. 12 -
     The third day of absolute cloudless skies and hot brilliant sunshine – so dazzling that it hurts the eyes –
     Saturday P.M. by bus to Transit and Seneca – South to Transit bridge – the raw brilliance of the sunshine – fields glamorous with goldenrod, reflecting back the sunshine in a raw yellow glow.  September sunshine has a peculiar eerie quality to it, a certain blackness, almost of eclipse-like sullenness.  The shadow sides of trees are black and dense, not luminous as in early summer.
     North on Transit Road to Park Road – thence to Lein Road and to Seneca Creek Road at twin chestnut house across fields to creek and thence across dam and home –
     Sunday – P.M. among other things Beethoven’s 3^rd Symphony over radio.
     Monday –
     A.M. South on Union to little house near railroad – a watercolor sketch of it –
     Home and lunch – out to backyard and sketch   ofSt. John’s Church and houses – had to work rapidly as I had to take Sally to Buffalo– But got a good sketch nevertheless –
