exercised the dogs. Walked
down to school with

to Stoneham and took
the Humming Bird's

It contained two fresh
eggs. Found a Humming

Got back at 7 P.M. The
linden trees are covered with
foliage as are also the maples,
willows, horse chestnut & apple
trees. The grass is about six
inches high & everything is
green.
