9 April 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

A large-catkined sallow (?) by the railroad . . . Cowslip in Hubbard’s Close will open the first warm and sunny hour . . .

I am surprised to find Walden completely open. When did it open? According to all accounts, it must have been between the 6th and 9th . . .
