the Thoreau Log.
2 June 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Still windier than before, and yet no rain. It is now very dry indeed, and the grass is suffering. Some springs commonly full at this season are dried up. The wind shakes the house night and day . . .

  P.M.—To Hill . . .

  Mr. Hoar tells me that Deacon Farrar’s son tells him that a white robin has her nest on an apple tree near their house. Her mate is of the usual color. All the family have seen her . . .

(Journal, 7:401-404)
