4:15 P.M. – a dazzlingly brilliant sun high in the hot blue western sky bringing out with painful intensity the harsh acrid yellow greens of the new verdure— the air clean and bright, a slight breeze from the northeast –
From the house the busy sounds of the girls practicing their Mendelssohn Concerto – emphasizing the stillness of the late spring afternoon – I am filled with contentment, for the moment.
Charles E. Burchfield, June 6, 1940
