Wea. [Weather] Sun. [Sunday] Nov. 3, 1901 [November 3, 1901] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Brilliantly clear with strong, cold N.W. [northwest]
wind.
  In A.M. Roland & I went to
Holden's Hill. I also had an interview
with Bensen about a little strip of land
bordering his field. He asks $50 & I
offered $30 for it. Matter left undecided.
While crossing Pine Park Roland & I started
a bevy of 13 Quail.
  In P.M. we walked to the farm & back.

  A.M. cloudy; P.M. clear.
  Carry and Mary Grenough arrived at
10.30 A.M. We walked to the farm
& drove back to dine at cabin.
C. [Caroline] drove to Concord with Mary &
Hansen at 3 P.M. returning to spend
the night with me at the farm.
We read aloud in the evening.
My autumn work at Ball's Hill is
finished. The new stable there was
roofed in & completed this forenoon.
Wea. [Weather] Tues. [Tuesday] Nov. 5, 1901 [November 5, 1901] Ther. [Thermometer]
  A.M. clear; P.M. cloudy. Mild.
  C. [Caroline] & I spent most of A.M. walking
about on or near the farm, at first along
the road past Lawrence's house in the
woods where the red pines grow. We
saw hawkweed & yarrow in bloom. A
few yellow butterflies still flying about.
At 3 P.M. Hansen drove C. [Caroline] & me to
Concord. We picked up E.R.S. [Elizabeth R. Simmons] at Manse.
She & C. [Caroline] went to Cambridge at 4 P.M.
& I returned alone to farm.
Wea. [Weather] Wednesday 6 [November 6, 1901] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear & cooler with strong N. [north] wind.
  Working with the men all day.
Long finished the walls around the
pasture at noon & began to move
the wall W. [west] of the house to the
edge of the driveway. Parker has about
finished the cow barn but it sits too 
low & I have decided to raise it
2 feet to-morrow. I got into the
woods for half an hour at sunset. 
Small birds very scarce now. This autumn
migration seems to have passed by.
