2 and the world seems a mighty dismal place. But today it has been warm, and much of the snow has gone. My hill across the river is showing black streaks in the white. This last month I've been calling it Fujiyama because it sticks up, white-capped above the trees in the forest, and slopes up to a peak in a way that enables me, with the aid of a strong imagination to make it seem like the picture of the famous sacred mountain of Japan. Last fall it was brown above the glorious riot of color in the valley trees, and next spring it will be green. There's variety in just one little piece of landscape. It is fine, though, to be here where I can look down on the river and out across those park trees to the hills of the open country instead of having the outlook
