Charles E. Burchfield, Journals, Vol. 60B, August 16, 1962

I had planned to start the Bat picture today, in fact I seemed all primed for it, but when we called about Peggy coming over to help with the house work, — Mart said some neighbors had invited Peggy to go to the beach for the day, so we said we thought she should go as the weather was to turn colder tomorrow —  Oddly enough this seemed to throw me at loose ends and I thought immediately that perhaps we ought ourselves to go to Emporium, as I had been thinking of it for some time — I mentioned it to Bertha and she was all for it.…A hot, steaming day, the air full of golden yellow August haze — ideal for the impressions I want to get of the Pennsylvania mountain country –
