the Thoreau Log.
12 March 1857. Concord, Mass.
Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Hill.

  Observe the waxwork twining about the smooth sumach. It winds against the sun. It is at first loose about the stem, but this ere long expands to and overgrows it. Observed the track of a squirrel in the snow under one, of the apple trees on the southeast side of the hill, and, looking up, saw a red squirrel with a nut or piece of frozen apple (?) in his mouth . . .

(Journal, 9:289-290)
