A soggy blizzard from N.W –
Trees covered – wierd blending tines on muddy ground (ochre from mud + violet + white) snow on chunky grass –
Tho snow falls gutter running with water – vivid green grass bristle thru the snow – wet fences vibrate against snow so violently they seem to move – A House moves strangely – Loose dripping layer clouds from NW – This is the April Winter, when there is no direction nor source of light, it seems as if the weather eternal – When green grass + flowering elms, poplars + maples belie the snow.
Charles E. Burchfield, April 6, 1917
