- Today I walked into the sunset - to mail some letters - … …But some way or other I didn't seem to like the redness much so after I mailed the letters I walked home - and kept walking - The Eastern sky was all grey blue - bunches of clouds - different kinds of clouds - sticking around everywhere and the whole thing - lit up - first in one place - then in another with flashes of lightning - sometimes just sheet lightning - and some times sheet lightning with a sharp bright zigzag flashing across it -. I walked out past the last house - past the last locust tree - and sat on the fence for a long time - looking - just looking at - the lightning - you see there was nothing but sky and flat prairie land - land that seems more like the ocean than anything else I know - There was a wonderful moon. Well I just sat there and had a great time by myself - Not even many night noises - just the wind -… …I wondered what you were doing - It is absurd the way I love this country - Then when I came back - it was funny - roads just shoot across blocks anywhere - all the houses looked alike - and I almost got lost - I had to laugh at myself - I couldn't tell which house was home - I am loving the plains more than ever it seems - and the SKY - Anita you have never seen SKY - it is wonderful.

- Last night I couldn't sleep till after four in the morning - I had been out to the canyon all afternoon - till late at night - wonderful color - I wish I could tell you how big - and with the night the colors deeper and darker - cattle on the pastures in the bottom looked line little pinheads I can understand Pa Dowpainting his pretty colored canyons - it must have been a great temptation - no wonder he fell. Then the moon rose right up out opf the ground after we got out on the plains again - battered a little where he bumped his head but enormous - There was no wind - it was just big and still - so very big and still - long legged jack rabbits hopping across in front of the light as we passed - A great place to see the night time because there is nothing else. - then I came home - not sleepy so I made a pattern of some flowers I had picked - They were like waterlillies - white ones -with the quality of smoothness gone.
