Thoreau writes in his journal:
2 P.M.—To Hapgood’s in Acton direct, returning via Strawberry Hill and Smith’s Road . . . From Strawberry Hill the first, but a very slight, glimpse of Nagog Pond by standing up on the wall . . . A large field of sunflowers for hens now in full bloom at Temple’s, surrounding the house, and now, at 6 o’clock P.M., facing the east.
