Wea. [Weather] Tues. [Tuesday] May 27, 1902 Ther. [Thermometer]
  Cloudy with heavy rain in P.M.
  C. [Caroline] & I walked up the Back Road
towards John Thayer's as far as the
brook immediately after breakfast. 
Many birds but migration apparently
at an end. There is a small patch
of Blood Root & a large one of Betony
on this road.
  Spent remainder of day in house
writing up my journal.

  Wea. [Weather] Wednesday 28 [May 28, 1902] Ther. [Thermometer]
40 [degrees] min [minimum]
  Cloudy & cold with high
N.W. [northwest] wind.
    C. [Caroline] & I walked this morning up
the road to Ponnekin [Ponakin] Bridge.
Just beyond it we saw perfectly
fresh deer tracks in the road,
those of a yearling buck I thought.
I wrote all the rest of the day
getting off a lot of letters.
C. [Caroline] walked to the library in P.M.

  Wea. [Weather] Thur. [Thursday] May 29, 1902 Ther. [Thermometer]
  Clear & cool with high N.W. [northwest] wind.
  Off with John Thayer & Harriman
for the day starting at 9.30.
Spent A.M. looking for Henslow's Sparrows 
nests in the meadow on the Pansy farm.
Started several birds underfoot but found
no nests. At noon drove to Pine Hill.
Harriman saw a pair of Cardinals
there yesterday but we could not find
them. Returned to meadow in P.M. &
searched some more for Henslow's nests in vain.

  Wea. [Weather] Friday 30 [May 30, 1902] Ther. [Thermometer]
  Brilliantly clear with cool N. [north] wind.
  C. [Caroline] & I walked around the triangle
past the Poor Farm after breakfast,
out with the wider intervale fields in
front of the house (where I dug a lot
of Rhexia to take to Cambridge & Concord)
in the mid afternoon, to the intervale 
below the iron bridge just before sunset.
It was a day to remember with brilliant
sunlight & rare lights & shadows towards
evening. I wrote two or three hours in
the forenoon.
