13 Sun Sept. 13 '70 Clouds, very high, formed in sky but it was still sunny. Spent 3 hrs mounding roses (the upper ones-(4) with compost under the [[strikethrough]] soil [[/strikethrough]] earth) Put compost in veg garden in corn section; & wire remnents in per. beds. Also: phoned G. (she'd called last night at 5), re BMAS. Made 2 trips to rocks below [[strikethrough]] J [[/strikethrough]] Cabots', - first it was too windy, & on the 2nd trip did 2 drawings of the dark rich, dramatic zigzag of rocks ending in the sea. The sea was rough & dark all day. At 5 took the bag of 13 geodes (which arrived yesterday) and cracked them open, to find 12 were duds. Fish again for lunch & supper (3rd day).

At 4:30 Hans & Helen dropped by to say farewell. At 6 I went to Bergs for supper (John H., Mike,) & later Cass dropped in, provoking us all into a good serious firm discussion on self & world. Afterwards, at 12:30! Cass & Mike & I walked to Herb's front yard by the sea. The moon was in & out of a sky total with uniform rounds of clouds. It was cold. (54°) Tues. Spent all day cleaning house. It was so cold I had to wear 2 sweatshirts & a heavy jacket, even indoors. This is
