the Thoreau Log.
1 September 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A misty morning followed by a still, cloudy, misty day, through which has fallen a very little rain this forenoon already. Now I notice a few faint chipping sparrows, busily picking the seeds of weeds in the garden . . .

  P. M.—Along river to E. Hosmer’s [Edmund Hosmer].

  A very little mizzling. The Aster Tradescanti is perhaps beginning to whiten the shores on moist banks. I see a fine (reddish) topped grass in low lands, whitened like a thin veil with what it has caught of this dewy rain . . .

(Journal, 7:3-4)
