.22 CLIMATE, SEASONS, &C. [PART I. 



1817. 



June 4. Fine rain. Began about ten o'clock. 



5. Rain nearly all day. 



6. Fine and warm. Things grow sur- 

 prizingly. 



7. Fine and warm. Rather cold at 

 night. 



8. Hot. 



9. Rain all day. The wood green, and 

 so beautiful! The leaves look so 

 fresh and delicate ! But, the Flow 

 ering Locust only begins to show 

 leaf. It will, by and by, make up, by 

 its beauty, for its shyness at present. 



10. Fine warm day. The cattle are up 



to their eyes in grass. 



5 I ; 1 1 . Fine warm day. Like the very, 

 very finest in England in June. 



12. Fine day. And, when I say fine, I 

 mean really fine. Not a cloud in 

 the sky. 



13. Fine and hot. About as hot as the 

 hottest of our English July weather 

 in common years. Lucerne, 2| feet 

 high. 



14. Fine and hot ; but, we have always 

 a breeze when it is hot, which I did 

 not formerly find in Pennsylvania. 

 This arises, I suppose, from our 

 nearness to the sea.
