in Thoreau’s Journal:

See the blue-herons opposite Fair H. hill as if they had bred there.

This & the last day or 2 very hot….There is very little air over the water & when I dip my head in it for coolness—I do not feel any coolness. The Eupatorium sessilifolium has been out a day or two on the side hill grove at Bittern Cliff….Chelone Glabra also.
