A
cold wind from the northwest. How much are our summers retarded by the
snow on the mountains? Annursnack looks green three miles off. This is
an important epoch, when the distant bare hills begin to show green or
verdurous to the eye. The earth wears a new aspect. Not tawny or russet
now, but green, are such hills. Some of the notes, the trills, of the lark sitting amid the tussocks and stubble are like my seringo-bird. May these birds that live, so low in the grass be called the cricket birds? and does their song resemble the cricket's, an earth-song? Was that a flying squirrel which the Emerson children found in his nest on the 1st of May? Heard some kind of dor-bug approaching with a hum, as I sat in a meadow this afternoon, and it struck the ground near me with as much noise as a bullet, as if some one had fired at me with an air-gun.
