Mon 17th. Cooler, at last. Foregoing week the worst weather ever in all my years here. Lots of visitors today to studio.

Tues 18th A cold north wind came up last night, blowing into the bedrm thru the bottom opening of the window. What a wonderful event. And today was a wonderful sunny & windy day. All the past month's ugliness is forgiven. Started painting. And weeded the garden. And enjoyed the outdoors. To Arline's for a lively 2 hrs. of partying.

Wed 19th At 2 am got up out of hunger, not having had supper. By moonlight fried an egg & a large round of zucchini with cheese. And toast, & tea, & by the light of a candle, saw the night all around as I had my repast. The channel would turn white at the edges. Trees & lilacs took on dark shadows. A fine night.

Thurs 20th. Again good cool weather, but no wind. Painted - a lg. w.c. Letters from Enid, & Peter King. The other day, letters from Margaret, & BMAS (a ptg for show) & Alan Gussow. (a write up for his show) Demands. And obligations, & complications, & worries. And I want only peace of mind & time to myself.[[strikethrough]] Is [[/strikethrough]] Are these possible ever?
