6. Fine hot day. Currants ripe. Oats in 

 haw. Rye nearly ripe. Indian Corn 

 two feet high. Hay-making nearly done. 



7. Rain and thunder early in the morning. 



8. Fine hot day. Wear no waistcoat now, 

 except in the morning and evening. 



9. Fine hot day. Apples to make puddings 

 and pies ; hut our house-keeper does not 

 know how to make an apple pudding. 

 She puts the pieces of apple amongst the 

 batter ! She has not read Peter Pindar. 



10. Finehotday. — I Avork in the land morn- 

 ing and evening and write in the day, in 

 a north room. — The dress is now become 

 a very convenient, or, rather, a very lit- 

 tle inconvenient, affair. Shoes, trowsers, 

 shirt and hat. No plague of dressing and 

 undressing ! 



11. Fine hot day in morning, but began to 

 grow dark in the afternoon. A sort of 

 haze came over. 



12. Very hot day. The common black cher- 

 ries, the little red honey-cherries, all 

 ripe now, and failing and rotting by the 

 thousands of pounds weight. But this 

 place which I rent is remarkable for a- 

 bundance of cherries. Some early peas, 

 sown in the second week in June, ht for 

 the table. This is thirty days from the 

 time of sowing. — No flies yet ! No Mus- 

 quitoes ! 



13. Hot and heavy, like the pleading of a 

 Quarter-Sessions lawyer. No breeze to- 

 day, which is rarely the case.
