such a day


“O suns and skies and clouds of June,
And flowers of June together,
Ye cannot rival for one hour
October’s bright blue weather.”

By Helen Hunt Jackson

And such a day it was.

The poem from Helen Hunt Jackson is so appropriate right now, and I enjoyed reading it and what you had to say about her book Ramona. I've never read it, and I'm feel I have definitely missed something important by not doing so.
