the Thoreau Log.
28 April 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  6 A.M.—Dug up two of half a dozen, the only black spruce suitable to transplant that I know hereabouts.

  Rain all day, making the grass look green.

  Nawshawtuct now in the rain looks about as green as a Roxbury russet; i.e. the russet is yielding to the green. Perhaps the greenness of the landscape may be said to begin fairly now . . .

(Journal, 6:227-228)
