the Thoreau Log.
26 April 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Hear the ruby-crowned wren in the morning, near George Heywood’s. We have had no snow for a long long while, and have about forgotten it. Dr. Bartlett, therefore, surprises us by telling us that a man came from lincoln after him last night on the wheels of whose carriage was an inch of snow, for it snowed there a little, but not here . . .

  To-day it is 53º at 2 P.M., yet cold, such a difference is there in our feelings . . .

  P.M.—To Cliffs and Well Meadow . . .

(Journal, 13:259-261)
