Thoreau writes in his journal:
6 A.M.—Up the North River . . .
P.M.—To Howard’s meadow.
The telegraph harp sounds more commonly, now that westerly winds prevail . . . The ice went out of Walden this forenoon . . . The pads at Howard’s meadow are very forward . . . I go to look for mud turtles in Heywood’s meadow.
